There isn't always a reason for everything that happens. Two hundred years ago, scientists fell in love with logic, and so now we tend to think there must be a reason for everything. But for many tragedies, there is no answer to the question "Why did this happen?".
Rev. Patrick reminds us what Dr. Holmes originally taught us: turn away from the condition that you see and don't get caught in the delusions of life... like the delusion of tragedies that don't have a reason. When you do, remind yourself that:
There is One Life,
That Life is God's life,
That Life is perfect,
That Life is my life now!
You are beautiful and extraordinary and there's not a thing you can do about it!
