God's silence can also be a reproach. We often pretend not to want to listen to this language. Conversely, if there is an earthquake or a major natural disaster, associated with immeasurable human tragedies, we accuse God of not speaking. God's silence questions mankind on its ability to enter into the mystery of life and hope at the very heart of suffering and hardships. The more we refuse to understand this silence, the more we move away from him. I am convinced that the problem of contemporary atheism lies first of all in a wrong interpretation of God's silence about catastrophes and human sufferings. If man sees in the divine silence only a form of God's abandonment, indifference, or powerlessness, it will be difficult to enter into his ineffable and inaccessible mystery. The more man rejects the silence of God, the more he will rebel against him.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Robert Cardinal Sarah" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-cardinal-sarah/166-god-s-silence-can-also-be-a-reproach-we-often-pretend-not-to-want/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e37/robert-cardinal-sarah-71658_mystery-of-life_166-god-s-silence-can-also-be-a-reproach_916414.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e37/robert-cardinal-sarah-71658_mystery-of-life_166-god-s-silence-can-also-be-a-reproach_916414.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e37/robert-cardinal-sarah-71658_mystery-of-life_166-god-s-silence-can-also-be-a-reproach_916414.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“166.
