“The challenge that we live daily is to enter into this mystery with faith. Am I willing to suffer with the people here, the suffering of the powerless, the feeling impotent? Can I say to my neighbors – I have no solutions to this situation; I don’t know the answers but I will walk with you, search with you, be with you …The front line is real and hard, though at times it has a peaceful face. Yet I see it as an opportunity to become more human, more Christian, more dependent on the Lord, my community, and the people placed in my life right now.” -Ita Ford
