We could never have imagined that the same Lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in His Church, present in the Eucharist, present in His Word, present in the poor, He is present, walking with us.

The trick for a good director is in casting properly, and creating the playroom, and then they'll get stuff that they don't expect, and can't even direct.

I'm open to it, but it has to feel right. If it feels forced, then I'm fearful of doing it.
