The physical and psychological wounds may continue with the continuation of those grievances, but there is still a glimmer of hope that frames the present pain gradually. The image then turns to look like a ray from the sun enveloping the oppressed with warmth and light in the hope that the page of injustice will be folded forever and be part of the painful past. \u003cbr\u003e With the burden of injustice, the oppressed shall speak to Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus, crying out, \"Where are you?\" \u003cbr\u003e From the severity of suffering, they will search for another savior to complain to. \u003cbr\u003e And with the continuation of injustice, they will shout eagerly, \"Who do I call?\" \u003cbr\u003e When the oppressed sees the disintegration and decaying of the wounded motherland, they will ask, \"Who is to blame?\" \u003cbr\u003e Nevertheless, they will pray and call for the secular system as a way of salvation. \u003cbr\u003e From the depth of desperation and the extent of despair, they will beg and say, Leave me be. \u003cbr\u003e Despite the needs, the suffering, the appeals, the questioning, the wishes and dreams, they will be puzzled by the obscure fate and wonder where to go. \u003cbr\u003e This modest book tells in the first seven quartets the story of the present pain that envelops the body of those suffering from the pitfalls of life and the injustice of others. \u003cbr\u003e It is concluded by the last quartet that strengthens my faith in the Almighty Creator who saved me from repeated heart attacks and kept me breathing between my friends and my beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sabah Michael Yacoub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1973673568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781973673569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Sabah Michael Yacoub","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058681704703,"sku":"9781973673569","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95c5d2e0-bed3-4f90-8000-1ca87746391c.jpg?v=1685053952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flashes-of-the-present-pain-sabah-michael-yacoub-9781973673569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
