"All we are asked to be in the world is what God is. "On Being" interview with Fr. Greg Boyle

While doing my laundry, fixing my ‘”take to the office” lunch and getting organized for a Saturday of work, I was listening to an inspiring www.onbeing.org podcast with Jesuit Father Greg Boyle.  Fr. Boyle has ministered to gang members in Los Angeles, USA for more than 25 years.  Here are short excerpts from the interview, entitled “The Calling of Delight.  http://www.onbeing.org/program/father-greg-boyle-on-the-calling-of-delight/5053 .

Here are a few short excerpts:

“Anything worth doing is worth failing at.

“All we are asked to be in the world is what God is.

“The present political and ideological divisions in the US are the opposite of God.

“When will the day come when we stop throwing people away?

"We are not called to be successful, we are called to be faithful.
