“The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do evil. All of us. ‘But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’ Yes, he can… “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!”.. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.”

"I never met a person I couldn't love if I heard their story."   Fred Rogers

[Who knows everyones story better than our creator? - Yet we have been taught that God, who delights in His mercy, will send most of humanity to eternal torment or annihilation.]

I received gladly, both with feeling and understanding, the doctrine that God is love.
