Just Life Quotes

“Of all the many aspects of being a priest, Gabriel had always loved this part the most - trying to establish a connection between God and the everyday lives of his faithful. He felt that if he could do that - keep it relevant, bring God beyond the doors of his church - then perhaps he would have left something positive behind.”

“You want to see God? Look closely and without blinking into the faces of the forgotten, the frightened, and the unforgiven. Bear witness. Get down on your knees with them, spend time in their presence, hear their stories however they are told. Otherwise it is far too easy to believe they deserve their hell.”

“Because…” Gabriel closed his eyes to his truth. Because the premise that a child must be threatened with harm to earn God’s blessing is no longer acceptable to me; because that smug face cannot be the face of my God; because a rejecting and shaming God is a God of men created by men to serve the agendas of men; because I couldn’t find any stained glass window maker who is able to capture the face of the God I want to see—the God of hope, of compassion, of acceptance.”
