The sacred Photius acknowledges that the various manifestations of evil, including mortality, seem to crucify the perceptual strength of the human mind, testing the emotional resilience of the bereaved or even seemingly contending with divine justice.
However, he insists that every form of suffering and sorrow is organically integrated into the framework of divine Providence.
In other words, although difficult, painful, indeterminate, and asymmetrical, the ways in which the "super rational philanthropy" of God manifests serve the salvation of man.
This specific acknowledgment does not function as psychological relief or shielding for the sufferer. On the contrary, it makes his own participation in his self-actualization even more urgent and pivotal, which occurs as a loving and free trust in the paternal care of God.
