St. Job
(Parable)
Why do bad things happen to good people? At some point in their lives, everyone longs to understand this
mystery. The book of Job puts the question to God. Its reflections provide hope for anyone who is suffering.
The story of Job was based on an old folk tale. Job, the story relates, had a beautiful family and great
prosperity. A good man, he felt blessed by God. But then hard times befell him. His children were killed, all
his wealth was taken from him, and he was stricken with a horrible skin disease. What made all of this even
more difficult was that people of Job’s time believed that the good were rewarded and the wicked punished
during their lives. Suffering was considered to be a punishment for sin.
Though he was angry, confused, and depressed by his suffering, Job continued to turn to God. In the process
he learned that prosperity is not a reward for good behavior. Nor is suffer a punishment. God’s plan is a
mystery beyond our power to understand. And yet, somehow, God’s mystery surrounds us. Trust is the only
fitting response to joy and pleasure, to pain and sadness.
In some of the most beautiful writing in the scriptures, god reminds Job of the splendors of creation.
Perhaps Job suddenly sees himself, even with his suffering (or maybe even because of his sufferings), as
part of God’s wonderful works. Job is filled with awe and thanksgiving and praise.
St. Job, pray for us.
