December 3rd was International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
I do not tie myself tightly to any particular religion at this time, however Pope Francis released a great statement to commemorate the day.
One highlight:
“Making good laws and breaking down physical barriers is important," the pope wrote, "but it is not enough if the mentality does not change, if we do not overcome a widespread culture that continues to produce inequalities and prevents people with disabilities from actively participating in ordinary life.”
“A person with disabilities, in order to build himself or herself up, needs not only to exist but also to belong to a community,”
