Brokenness

 Our world is so broken.

There are too many broken pieces and not all of them can be glued back together. 

This makes a person feel helpless. 

Though we should not dwell on the broken, we also should not ignore it. 

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Theodore Roosevelt 

This will help when one feels helpless. 

However, the brokenness in the world will still exist. 

We are vulnerable when we are broken. 

Jesus let himself be vulnerable to death on a cross. 

That's how, and only how, our brokenness and helplessness can be healed.

"He preached eloquently; He worked spectacular miracles. But He did not make possible the salvation of the world until He laid down His own life." Cardinal John O'Connor
