Dearest PSacto, peace to you, as well...
I know, I know...:)
"when one speaks the truth, from the heart with love, one can't force ANYONE to listen..."
People will hear what they want to hear and if Our Lord's message was misunderstood and ignored by those he DIRECTLY spoke to...well...
I don't ask for anyone to agree with me when I express a view, an opinion or a sugggestion, I just ask that they try to undestand it and in doing that, I hope that this understanding can bring light and love, that's all.
I have seen people take beautiful messages of love, PLAINLY stated and pervert them into messages of hate.
I have looked on in awe whenhate and intolerance is passed off as love and being "true to God".
My heart is far more broken than I care to admit even to myself.
But I have hope and faith in Love :)
