"the most fundamental message: know God’s love for you is absolute and unconditional, and share this love with every person in your life, especially the poor and outcast.
this needs to be our unrelenting focus. even our thinking and doctrine about such things as sexuality and marriage cannot trump the fundamental message of love and outreach to the poor and outcast.
so, i feel it necessary to ask myself, what are the things I pay great attention to, which are simply not that important? how am i going to get back to the most fundamental message?”

(“,) may God grant me the grace of mercy that i may always bear witness to the suffering of those who have been relegated to the margins or fallen through the cracks… and act accordingly with greater love than fear. amen.
