"Rebellion...should be our natural state. [Faith] is a belief that rebellion is always worth it, even if all outward signs point to our lives and struggles as penultimate failures. We are saved not by what we can do or accomplish but by...our steadfastness to the weak, the poor, the marginalized, those who endure oppression. We must stand with them against the powerful. ...[The] struggle to live the moral life is worth it." ―Chris Hedges, from "The World As It Is"

--Pope Francis
Me too.
Thank you, God, for a Pope who speaks in the way of the prophets.
