“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.” LoveGodFaithPositiveConnectionPriest Book:Just Life Source: Just Life
“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.” GodFaithLostWitnessHelpGood Samaritan Book:Just Life Source: Just Life
“This may sound ironic, but I don't believe in miracles. Or, even if they do exist, that I'm worthy of one. I've prayed every day since I found out that God would take me into His house before another sunrise. But I guess sometimes God's greatest gift is an unanswered prayer. If He had taken me, these creatures would not have found sanctuary, even if it is perhaps just for a day. Eliot would have been dead on some cold metal table, and you, my friend... would have been denied the opportunity to pull my head out of my ass.” LoveFaithPrayerGiftMiraclesSanctuary Book:Just Life Source: Just Life
