Theme for the week  The readings for this sunday ( Lamentations 1:1-6 , Luke 17:5-10) confront us with some of our basic emotions: doubt, hopelessness and fear, and meet us in our darkest question: why has this happened? and have I the strength, the faith to find my way through? In the midst of all this we join the disciples in their plea - "Increase our faith Lord, increase our faith in the face of all that is happening!" These readings invite us to explore where those anxieties and requests come from. They invite us to see our desire for certainty and invite us to meet God, not in certainty, not in clear answers, but in the messiness of life, in our doubts and darkness. When hope seems gone, there is God.
