In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

Countrymen,

How we do cope daily with the ambiguities of life!

Perhaps, if I have matured a bit since the early years as a golden-haired comer who disappointed my faculties and father by not pursuing a doctorate and then abandoning altogether the ecclesial and academic milieux, it is in the direction of appreciating those ambiguities and the good faith efforts of people to cope with them.

The very humanness of us, our struggles, our labors to achieve goals, our wishes for good to happen and evil not, and all within contexts of unremitting volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, impresses me as a miracle in itself, a thing of great wonder and beauty.

AMDG – VICTORY
