The September 2021 issue of The Word Among Us, daily meditations for Catholics had an interesting response by Archbishop Joseph Kurtz. The question a little girl asked was, "Why was my brother born with autism?". The archbishop replied that he couldn't really answer; he didn't know.
That's a good answer. Who knows why one is tall or short, or American or whatever? God's plans are a mystery to us. No one knows the mind of God.
The archbishop asked the little girl a question. "Do you love your brother?" She answered "yes." Then he explained how much better both their lives were because of their love for each other. Life doesn't consist of solving problems. Life is meant to be lived and life is better when shared with others. Even Adam needed someone to love. We were made that way.
We were made to love others. Life is better when shared with someone.
