On this stage the performers give every sign of being odious human beings, who flaunt the odiousness, knowing that it maddens their opponents and electrifies their cult. What they do as presidents and primates can cause misery for millions of people; and they seem to exult in the distaste they provoke, they revel in the spectacle in which they are the star players. Which is all the more reason for us to give thanks for those things which God does offstage. To be grateful for the almost unnoticed intrusions into our daily lives, divine interruptions, which we may realise in time, change everything.
