"There are no galley slaves in the royal vessel of divine love... We must never undervalue any person." 

                                                         ~ Saint Francis de Sales  

As we steer our way through this day, what a difference it will make if we aim to hold ourselves and all others with a valuing attitude of mind and a loving quality of heart.

Consider reaching beyond tolerance, beyond respect, toward reverence for all, especially those we may have judged as inferior in any way.  

May compassion help and heal us all, 
Charlene

PS - You may have noticed that I've used quite a few quotes from Saint Francis de Sales lately. Like the beloved one from Assisi, this Francis was also known as a friend of the poor and preached beautiful messages about love and reverence toward all.
