A financial appeal letter from Fr. Luan.

One of the most common arguments against God and religion is the argument of suffering. People say that if God really existed, and if he really were a good God, he wouldn't allow so much suffering in the world. And when we hear that argument, our initial reaction is to agree. But that is at the very least most superficial and illogical argument.

There is a temptation to wonder if Jesus can heal a man who’s deaf, and he can perform all of the other miraculous healings we know he did, then why didn’t he heal everybody. - Deacon Pashley's homily, Sunday September 8th
