   "Now it is the glorious characteristic of Christ's salvation that it sets at liberty our Love, breaks down the prison walls of self, and carries us freely forth into this goodly universe; as the Home of our Father and of His vast Family; that it instructs us how to find objects for our largest affections in all God's children; that it encourages us to identify our private welfare with the advancing good of humanity; that it quickens us to interlink ourselves with all mankind of all classes and conditions; by reverent admiration with the good, by reconciling mercy with the evil, be cheerful sympathy with the happy, by tender compassion with the suffering, by redeeming pity with the oppressed, by hope with all; and thus to make our own lives entirely one with the life of our Race. 
There is an exulting joy in this enlargement of Personal Being; and this limitless expansion of Love was an essential aim of our Savior." William Ellery Channing

 I chose this photo because with the virtues listed above there is hope for even a person acting so obnoxious and angry as the woman pictured. As Christ captures more and more of our hearts we see all people with compassion, and without that, where would a woman like this find help?
