There Are Spaces Of Sorrow Only God

People Are More Than The Worst Thing They Have Ever Done In Their Lives

When People Of Color Are Killed In The Inner City, When Homeless People Are Killed, When The "nobodies" Are Killed, District Attorneys Do Not Seek To Avenge Their Deaths. Black, Hispanic, Or Poor Families Who Have A Loved One Murdered Not Only Don't Expect The District Attorney's Office To Pursue The Death Penalty -which, Of Course, Is Both Costly And Time Consuming- But Are Surprised When The Case Is Prosecuted At All.

I Realize That I Cannot Stand By Silently As My Government Executes Its Citizens. If I Do Not Speak Out And Resist, I Am An Accomplice.

Remorse Presupposes Enough Self-forgetfulness To Feel The Pain Ofothers.

I Saw The Suffering And I Let Myself Feel It… I Saw The Injustice And Was Compelled To Do Something About It. I Changed From Being A Nun Who Only Prayed For The Suffering World To A Woman With My Sleeves Rolled Up, Living My Prayer.
