“The great mystery of our faith is that we get closest to God when we are willing to be vulnerable … when we are willing to say ‘I need somebody else. … One of the great gifts of people with visible disabilities is to help us who have invisible disabilities or vulnerabilities to get in touch with them … To realize that I am impatient, that I am full of anxieties and fears, that I have my broken relationships, that I am poor … God says ‘Blessed are the poor.’”
