Why does God hide from
those of us who yearn
to hear His voice?
When we do good,
there’s no heavenly
applause.
When we do evil,
no divine rebuke.
And when great horrors
visit us, He rarely intervenes.
In good times and bad,
there’s just silence . . . the
awful silence of God.
Now comes Why God Hides,
this magnum opus of Fr. John
Portavella, written after many
decades of listening to God’s
silence – in his own life and
in that of thousands of his
parishioners.
Those years of listening, reading,
thinking, and praying have made
ever more clear to him – and with
the help of this book, will make
clear to you – that, in fact . . .
God is not silent nor is
He hidden, if only you know
how to listen and learn
where to look.
Time and again in the events
of salvation history and in the
trials and joys of our daily lives,
Fr. Portavella here unveils the
Face of God and lets us hear His
voice, speaking in every instance
words of sweet love.
Why God Hides is a remarkable,
once-in-a-lifetime book that scatters
the darkness of our minds, giving us
myriad glimpses of our supposedly
hidden God, bringing with each of
those glimpses the consolation and
joys for which we have yearned
for so long.
