Stories we love but don’t need (July 11) are the ones we hear
most. But the story about the boys in the cave was one we loved and they needed,
and the world needed.
The boys who prayed in that cave needed the story told so that the world
would pray too, and the world responded. Someone on radio commented that she "didn’t know who to pray to", but she prayed.
The world needed the story too, so
that the people praying everywhere for those boys and their mentor would see that prayers are heard and answered
- in this case, unusually, in the way we wanted.
“Bonum diffusivum sui”: in this classic story of heroism we beheld
goodness, and how it can diffuse itself to millions all around the earth, united
for once in love.
