"The
Holy Father said, we recognise that the goodness of Creation is
permanently contradicted by evil in the world. “Evil,” he said, “always
desires to spoil creation, to contradict God, and to make truth and
beauty unrecognisable.” But it is precisely into this world, marked by
evil, that the Incarnate Logos enters, crowned with thorns, so that, “in
the suffering figure of the Son of God, we can begin to see the most
profound beauty of our Creator and Redeemer. In the silence of the ‘dark
night,’ we can nevertheless hear the Word.”
Pope Francis
