T
he presence of evil persons who cause suffering to inno-
cent people and disrupt the order of society has always
been a thorn in the flesh for both unbelievers and believ-
ers. It is especially difficult for us believers to reconcile this fact
with our belief in a God who loves justice and has the whole world
in His hand.
Today’s First Reading and the Gospel help us make sense of it
all as they assure us that God is always in control of the situation,
even when evil (which comes from the Devil) seems to have the up-
per hand. In due time, perfect justice will be done. God’s apparent
“inaction,” therefore, is not due to impotence on His part, but to His
desire to offer new chances of repentance to those who do evil.
In this Eucharist, we will ask for a stronger faith and the grace
to be able to counteract the evil that exists around us by doing as
much good as we can. As St. Paul says, let us overcome evil with
good. (Rom 12:21)
