Compassion as covenant (Fr. Greg Boyle / William Faulkner)


Compassion is not a relationship
between the healer and the wounded.
 It’s a covenant between equals.

--Fr. Greg Boyle 

      Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth. 
--William Faulkner
