“There is important wisdom to be gleaned from those on the margins.
Vulnerable human beings put us more in touch with the truth of our limited and
messy human condition, marked as it is by fragility, incompleteness and
inevitable struggle. The experience of God from that place is one of absolutely
gratuitous mercy and empowering love. People on the margins, who are less able
to and less invested in keeping up appearances, often have an uncanny ability
to name things as they are. Standing with them can help situate us in the truth
and helps keep us honest.” ~ Pat Farrell
