Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
God loveth those who are pure. No one is more loved than one of purity and immaculate cleanliness.
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard

So India’s problem turns out to be the world’s problem. What happened in India has happened in God’s name.
The problem’s name is God.
