Relief for Haiti

Not really knowing what to say about the tragedy taking place in Haiti, I’ve made the mistake of saying nothing.

Part of my silence is born out of the recognition that anything I might say wouldn’t do justice to the magnitude of loss and suffering taking place there.  As if to put words to it would take something immensely catastrophic and make it less than that.

That said, a very few things could and should be said.  So with an economy of words, here goes.

Jesus – Matthew 25:35-36
