“Terror melting into wonder, then slipping into peace.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“Kindness is the only strength there is.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“No daylight to separate us.

Only kinship. Inching ourselves closer to creating a community of kinship such that God might recognize it. Soon we imagine, with God, this circle of compassion. Then we imagine no one standing outside of that circle, moving ourselves closer to the margins so that the margins themselves will be erased. We stand there with those whose dignity has been denied. We locate ourselves with the poor and the powerless and the voiceless. At the edges, we join the easily despised and the readily left out. We stand with the demonized so that the demonizing will stop. We situate ourselves right next to the disposable so that the day will come when we stop throwing people away.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“God can get tiny, if we're not careful.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“Kinship– not serving the other, but being one with the other. Jesus was not “a man for others”; he was one with them. There is a world of difference in that.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion
