@HayJoe777 @HootenWilson Jean Vanier helped sober me up. To notice a sin, he observed, for which no one assumes accountability, requires oneself assuming the full existential burden of its weight and correction. Then again, in a world stricken by blindness, the fruits of such care are plentiful and kind.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @AnthonyTrackII @tenshi_anna At the feet of Christ, contempt unmasks itself. Misogynistic slurs aren’t arguments. They’re confessions—of fear, of poverty of thought, of brittleness masquerading as strength, the old serpent hissing through a mouth already weighed and found wanting. The Lamb is not fooled.Quoted by@AnthonyTrackII @tenshi_anna At the feet of Christ, contempt unmasks itself. Misogynistic slurs aren’t arguments.

All told, the aspiration keeps keeps the inner life ticking along at a healthy canter, doesn't it?Quoted by@pauljpastor @collected_mind I see from Paul's substack that he prefers to work with "At Risk Youth, Disability, Homelessness, Incarcerated individuals..." A kind soul, clearly aspiring. Elder wisdom, isn't it, but a faithful heart cannot run cover for an uninitiated man. Christ grows in brotherly wisdom.
