This is about trust, this system. So the question is how you price that, and it's given the foreign exchange market pause.

It dawned on the market that it was conceivable that there was more to the story than met the eye. And then you're in a difficult situation.

You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.

How calmly may we commit ourselves to the hands of Him who bears up the world.

Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved.

Yesterday was a dark day in the history of humanity, a terrible affront to human dignity. After receiving the news, I followed with intense concern the developing situation, with heartfelt prayers to the Lord. How is it possible to commit acts of such savage cruelty? The human heart has depths from which schemes of unheard-of ferocity sometimes emerge, capable of destroying in a moment the normal daily life of a people. But faith comes to our aid at these times when words seem to fail. Christ’s word is the only one that can give a response to the questions which trouble our spirit. Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say. Christian hope is based on this truth; at this time our prayerful trust draws strength from it.
