Grab your copy of Father Greg’s most recent book, Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times.
This week on Mindrolling, Father Greg and Raghu discuss:
- Becoming anchored in the truth of interconnectedness
- The ‘Decade of Death’, a period of severe gang violence in LA
- Being with suffering and allowing it to transform
- The unshakable goodness within us all
- Belonging as the vitality of relationships
- Inviting people rather than indicting people
- How God sustains us through all things
- Compassion as the answer to every question
“Belonging is more than inclusion, it’s the vitality of relationships. What makes it vital is the rolling up of sleeves. Cherishing is love with its sleeves rolled up, it’s connective tissue. It can’t stay in the air, your head, or even your heart—it gets to your feet.” —Father Greg Boyle
