“Through the practice of devotion to God, I was coming to learn that preserving loving relations in this world required much forgiveness, tolerance, patience, gratitude, and humility. An essential virtue of humility is to accept others for what they are, despite differences.

God loves all of His children. If I wish to love God, I must learn to love those whom He loves.”
