To read Eli Wiesel’s Night on Thanksgiving is to enter into a world for which no gratitude is thinkable. No more proof that the fullness of the Kingdom of God is Not Yet can be found than in this personal testament of Job-like suffering and despair.

How can St. Paul’s admonition “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” apply? After reading this story how can we “know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him”?
