“My heart aches at the thought of their pain. I feel so helpless for what I wish I could do for them but knowing I am in a mortal body, like they are. I cannot be the saviour for all, when I also suffer from what I receive. Do you recognise the duality here? To be aware of another’s pain, and to be aware of one’s own. This is not an easy thing to grasp, or to accept. But this is our life. We are always learning about grace, holding the front line all the while keeping the heart open.”
