Stephen H. Donnelly
“I took a deep breath and willed myself to focus on the questions. “I don’t know. I like to rescue people, especially those in the throes of addiction. It’s like a derailed train; I swoop in like Superman and put the train back on the tracks. Is the train going to get to the next station? I don’t know, but at least it’s out of the ditch and upright before I walk away.”
Stephen H. Donnelly, A Saint and a Sinner: The Rise and Fall of a Beloved Catholic Priest

Brittany Burgunder
“Sometimes we need to be drawn to a place so dark that we have no choice but to trust our hearts to illuminate the way.”
Brittany Burgunder
