This Week

This week was filled with upheavals. In Myanmar after the
cyclone, the government sought to bar aid workers, and the pressure prevented
our reporter from publishing his name. In China after the earthquake, Chinas
government accepted foreign aid for the first time since the 1940s.
In California, the upheaval was a man-made disaster: The
Supreme Court redefined marriage.
Strange and startling stuff, all. But for Catholics, on the
feast of Corpus Christi, we can understand it as a call to trust. God is the
creator and King of the universe. He is the master of the strange and
startling. And amid all the upheavals, we can be sure that his promises remain,
as always, trustworthy.
