“We tend to think of aging and pregnancy as the only things that mark our bodies. But we all have other marks we can point to, each with a story to tell. Some are stories of joy. But many of our scars tell stories of physical pain. Many of our scars too are acquired in sacrifice for the people we love. It is these scars of love that mark the ways we’ve given of ourselves for the sake of others. And the story of Easter reminds us that our scars of love are not alone.” - Scars of Love, by Elizabeth Santelmann
