Walking wounded...

Archbishop Michael Ramsey, it is reported, said to his ordinands:

In your service of others, you will feel, you will care, you will be hurt, you will have your heart broken. It is doubtful if any of us can do anything at all until we have been very much hurt, and until our hearts have been very much broken. And this is because God’s gift to us is the glory of the crucified - being sensitive to the pain and sorrow that exists in so much of the world.

This is true. Something to be faced and not avoided, but how we want to skip that part.
