Those that judge and are incapable of truly embracing the teachings of Jesus are leaving the fold of the truly graceful, virtuous, and charitable. Those that truly understand the message of love are joining together to help those in need as Jesus would have it be. A lesson here for all: mark it well. A truly Christian spirit is at work here.
