Jesus responded with these words for us; "My child Eileen, I want all My children to know that when My little children are injured in such a tragedy, it is not God?s will."

kosmic,
Technology is used by evil people. The typhoon in the Philippines was weaponized weather by microwave
pulse. It wasn't God that did this...
We have no choice. We are slaves to Whoever is running things ...

He's ten years-old, I don't think it's time just yet to think he has doubts.
Prayer of Humble Access
We do not presume to come to this thy Table,
O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness,
but in thy manifold and great mercies.
We are not worthy so much
as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table.
But thou art the same Lord,
whose property is always to have mercy:
Grant us therefore, gracious Lord,
so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ,
and to drink his blood,
that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us.
I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
through my fault
through my fault
through my most grievous fault
Therefore, I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Oh YES, it is time to think that. Kids have 'doubts' about Santa Claus when they are about 7 or 8. I had doubts about the Bible stories from the first time I heard them being told as if they were truth.
Ten-year-olds are VERY aware of what is going on around them, and they watch every move we adults make.
If there wasn't cyclones to dissipate heat, everyone would die.
...I couldn't frame it for him or put it in perspective....

That statement of hers is against basic theology and against Catholic teaching.
Anything that happens is God's Will. It's either his ORDAINING WILL or his PERMITTING WILL.
That woman got basic theology wrong. Her 'message' is obviously fake.

When I first got really sick, my daughter got really mad at God. (she was 13).
She still is in 'reject mode'. She no longer prayers or goes to church or anything. (she's 17 now).
I think she still believes in Him but she doesn't seem to trust Him. I dont' blame her at all.
I admit that I question how a 'loving' God can sit back and let things unfold in such a horrific way . My ATS Thread - Is God A Deadbeat Dad? So much suffering of people and animals. So much 'error' ... people fighting over 'truth'. It's a mess.
The different religions talk about suffering and give reasons (or make excuses) for it.
As the previous poster said ... Christ suffered so we are going to.
So we are stuck suffering. So are the animals.
Supposedly God knows best and it's all for a reason.
Some days I still think that's true. Other days ... not so much.
Whatever the reason ... we are stuck with things the way they are.
We don't have to be happy about it. We just have to put up with it.
We have no choice. We are slaves to Whoever is running things ...
