An Ancient Dictum Says That When Zeus

O My Dear Parishioners, Let Us Endeavor To Get To Heaven! There We Shall See God. How Happy We Shall Feel! If The Parish Is Converted We Shall Go There In Procession With The Parish Priest At The Head. . . We Must Get To Heaven! What A Pity It Would Be If Some Of You Were To Find Yourselves On The Other Side!

My Father Was Killed By A German Mine, While I Lost Other Relatives In Allied Bombing Attacks. The Second World War Claimed Tens Of Millions Of Victims. For Some The Most Terrible Aspect Of It Was The Deportations, While For Others It Was The Leveling Bombings Or The Mass Deaths By Starvation And Cold.

The Suffering Caused By The Terrorists Is The Real Torture.

You Must Either Suffer In This Life Or Give Up The Hope Of Seeing God In Heaven. Sufferings And Persecutions Are Of The Greatest Avail To Us, Because We Can Find Therein A Very Efficient Means To Make Atonement For Our Sins, Since We Are Bound To Suffer For Them Either In This World Or In The Next.

Millions Also Perished In The Chinese Camps, And There Have Been Terrible Genocides In Cambodia And Vietnam.
