Has the Economic News Got You Down?

Remember, its not really that important:

Only the light of God can overcome the great “darkness” present in “many parts of our world,” the evil represented by wars and tribal violence, but also by the egoism of men who exploit other men, leading to that hedonism which is at the source of escape into drugs, “sexual irresponsibility,” destruction of families and innocent human lives through abortion. Benedict XVI today addressed an invitation to reconciliation and hope to all of Africa, from the esplanade of Cimangola, in Luanda, Angola, where a million people gathered to participate in the great celebration…

If a million people – most of whom no doubt live in what Americans would consider impossible poverty – can gather to hear a message of hope, then we should put our financial crisis into proper perspective. It is the hope of the world – the Light of God – which will clear away the darkness of our times, and in our lives.

Fear God and nothing else in this world, my friends.
