The degree of our despair. The intensity of it.
We’ve been driven deeper. We’ve been crushed. We’re underneath. We’re broken beneath it all – beneath everything.
We know the catastrophe – we know it. We feel it. It’s registered in us. It rings its bells inside us.
There’s a Significance to despair – to our despair. If we feel it truly. If we know it sincerely. If it becomes acute in us, our despair. If it enters its acute phase. Then what? What can it bring from the future?
We need to lift our despair. To offer it. We need to bring our despair to God. Present it to God. Understand it as a gift to God. As our offering. As our sacrifice. The sacrifice of our happy lives to God.
The disaster’s gathered us towards it. It’s pressed us to it. It’s brought us close.
A terrible proximity. We’re close to it. We’re its favourite sons and daughters.
We haven’t lied. We won’t lie – not anymore. Our despair is what will not lie within us. It’s what makes us decry all lies. Despise lies.
