Yesterday I came across two pieces of information and news that seemingly are unrelated, but to me appeared very VERY much connected.
One was a letter written by a Bishop in Maharashtra, denouncing the desecration of a school chapel and that the miscreants had taken away the sacred host from the tabernacle. He therefore appealed to the Catholic faithful to conduct an adoration service in order to restore the blessed Sacrament.
The other incident that is still unfolding in a nearby state of the country is that of the death/murder of a teenager in Patna. An 18 year old student was found dead in her hostel. Initially it was declared as suicide and now it is revealed that she was brutally raped and murdered!
Is not the life of this teenager as sacred and worthy of respect as the Holy Communion? ("You are the temple of the holy Spirit") I am right now struggling to come to terms with these incidents - more so, with our response to these incidents! I don't know... but I'm feeling very very disturbed and uncomfortable.
