"Who is not broken in some way or another? Wounded people need healing, not additional bruises....The healing begins when I encounter someone who simply accepts me, listens to my story, and is willing to accompany me in the life I find myself in. Often it is a life without any joy or satisfaction, but it is a life that I have been entrapped in."
~Virgilio Elizondo in Virgilio Elizondo: Spiritual Writings, edited by Timothy Matovina (Orbis)
