Life could often look like a list of depressions. In these verses the lament is over hard labor, unappreciated work, restless nights, health problems, swift aging. Here is a list for everyone. Yet how different people are in these situations. How different if grace is at work to transform it all. A parishioner asks about why this condition, why this suffering? How can a person become a blessing? How can grace infuse and influence any desperation? Certainly a sense of purpose or mission helps. Victor Frankl said:
