“Pick something you aren't just able to do; instead, pick something you feel like you were made to do and then do lots of that. You weren't just an incredible idea that God never got around to making. The next step happened for the world when God dropped you on the planet...God decided to have us intersect history, not at just any time, but at this time. He made us to be good at a few things and bad at a couple of others. He made us to love some things and not like others. Most of all, He made us to dream...We're part of God's much bigger plan for the whole world. Just like God's Son arrived here, so did you. And after Jesus arrived, God whispered to all of humanity..."It's your move.”

“… it's typically easier for a gay person who grows up outside the Church to know God's love than for a gay person who had a Catholic upbringing.
The children of the Church, who should be the most confident in God's love, the ones who know best what God is like, are instead
the ones who grow up uncertain of God's love and afraid that there's no place for them in the Church...
Even (especially?) gay people who have always tried to do right and be good Christian kids often wake up one day in their twenties or thirties and realize that they have never really believed that
God cherished them. They have always felt, on some level, that God was disgusted by them and did not delight in them the way he delighted in people with more conventional desires.”
