“Before that day I was a lost sheep. I was a lost sheep making my own plans, always caring about God by imagining my own ways of getting closer to and serving him. And most of it had very little to do with God. I was just wandering from one patch of grass to the next, and the grass always seemed greener wherever I was not. But there came a time when the aimless wandering had to stop because Christ in the form of a homeless child showed up and knocked on the door of my heart and asked, May I come in? Do you have any space for me there?”
–Adam Bucko, Let Your Heartbreak Be Your Guide: Lessons in Engaged Contemplation (Orbis, 2022), p. 5
