The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me.

"Today many of you live in fear of being marked and tracked, careful about names, identities, and lists. But today, you step forward freely to receive this mark, the sign of the cross." - Cupich
“This too is a day for those who are made to feel like dust, dust that can be swept away or treated as if they do not belong. It is a day for those who work with the dust of the earth in construction, in cleaning, in harvesting the crops of the fields, all to support their families.” - Cupich

Mine was gay and German (?) and told me about the battle of Blenheim. I didn't get my full license for almost ten years
Benedict XVI to Pope Francis:

15th century woodcut of a man wearing headgear and tunic but with bare feet and legs warming himself by a cauldron over a fire. His socks? are hanging on a rack above. Honestly it would give you chilblains just looking at it but it is the traditional labour of February, doing nothing.
Happy February, doss-month, month of dossing
