I am weary, O God, and I am exhausted.
(Proverbs 30:1)
or on YouTube
So many of us are tired at what seems an explosion of evil, division, and uncertainty in the world. There is a sense of weariness as darkness gathers like a Great Storm, something John Paul II was frank to admit:
It is precisely at the end of the second millennium that immense, threatening clouds converge on the horizon of all humanity and darkness descends upon human souls. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, from a speech, December, 1983; www.vatican.va
