Luke, this piece touched my heart deeply. The way you shared such a profound and personal encounter, highlighting the power of connection and grace in unexpected moments, resonated with me. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of being present and open to the people around us. It is a beautiful testament to the impact of kindness and empathy in a world that often feels disconnected.

Luke, once I responded to a post you wrote with the words “Luke, this is fucking magnificent.” I wish I could find words that capture the feeling I had after reading this. Fucking magnificent doesn’t come close to doing it justice. Sometimes you read something just at the right time. Today, you helped me realize what my vocation is.

Beautiful encounter, thank for sharing it.

It recalls St. Teresa of Ávila's "Love turns work into rest."

Blessings on the rest of your path of love

What an absolutely wonderful story. I know it will inspire some number of others to be open in the same way.
