Padre nostro-il dubbio


Our Father, who we hope is in heaven,

Let's wait for peace to your name,

And that you give us with it your kingdom

We don't understand how this is your will

Maybe it is in the sky but not at all on earth!

Give us our daily medication today,

The one that like bread still keeps us alive

Like bread that someone doesn't have,

maybe they don't ask you in the right way..

Forgive us but above all teach us to forgive

Don't always let us do all these atrocities

But how do you let them do it?

Why don't you free us from the hands of evil?

Don't let it win anymore

Amen

Because love, enforced by a puppet-master, is not love at all?

Replying to

I agree - but presumably, as non-puppets, we are as free to hate as to love, and that precious freedom is seen wonderfully in beautiful love - as also sadly in hate and the suffering that proceeds from it. I believe God is seen most clearly as he lies with others under the rubble of Gaza.
