    Scorsese's Spiritual Crucible

    Meilleure citation de Scorsese's Spiritual Crucible

    “

    Silence treats faith not as a simple point to be made, but as a heart-wrenching puzzle. It suggests that true priesthood isn't about maintaining institutional authority, but about being present with people in their brokenness and offering grace—even when you're broken yourself.

    ”
