Speaking of humanity's poor choices, Boyle writes, "Disappointment is not the foot God puts forward. There is instead only a redoubling of God's loving us into kinship with each other. If we truly allow that tenderness to reach us, then peace, justice, and equality will be its byproducts"
More from Father Greg Boyle's Barking to the Choir: "We are forever fretting over things we think ruffle God's feathers. God is not feathered, though. A homie once said to me, 'I think God has disowned me.' But Wisdom writes,'You love all things and loathe nothing.' Why is that so hard for us to digest? We are always trying to 'make a good impression,' but God is not interested."
