I don't know how it works, but what I do know is that republics came to the world to make sure that no one is more than anyone else.

    A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires.

Let me be that channel so that I can help heal." You make yourself so humble that you really are like a flute and that music that comes out comes from el corazón. All the people you're connected to from that light that we call love.
