The Sunday ‘To-Be’ List: Father Greg Boyle
- I want to be less eager to win the argument.
- I want to be reverent for the complexity of things.
- I want to be more tender so that folks feel less far away.
- I want to be that person who knows how to look underneath and know where the thorn is.
- I want to be standing with the demonized so that the demonizing stops.
- I want to be mystical so I can see people in their wholeness.
- I want to be that person who can cherish what terrifies me.
- I want to be aligned with the “disposable” so that the day will come when we stop throwing people away.
- I want to be welcoming of my own wound so I am never tempted to despise the wounded.
- I want to be one who knows, deeply, the God of love…so I can “fire the other gods.”
