“Love is a sanctuary for us amid our doubts, fears, and suffering. We are called to love and protect each other, and when we do, we become moving sanctuaries fighting for justice. Just as Moses was called to do this work of bringing justice for the Israelites in Egypt, we are being called to do the work of loving, supporting and fighting for justice for our neighbors who are being persecuted.”
