From giant, tattooed Cesar, shopping at JC Penney fresh out of prison, we learn how to feel worthy of Gods love. From ten-year-old Pipi we learn the importance of being known and acknowledged. From Lulu we understand the kind of patience necessary to rescue someone from the darkas Father Boyle phrases it, we can only shine a flashlight on a light switch in a darkened room.
