Abstract
This article is a theological reflection by the Maryknoll Society in Africa on their ministries. Responding to the major social issues of poverty, AIDS, and refugees, the theme of the suffering of the innocent has emerged as key for understanding the Paschal Mystery and its centrality in the salvific will of our trinitarian God. Through the innocent victim, God's self-sacrificing love is revealed. That love stands in strong protest against social sin and its negative impact on human life. It also manifests God's loving presence to those who suffer persecution, oppression, and discrimination. Our loving God is a God with them.
