You're in the right place if... (Fr. Greg Boyle)

   I once read that the Beatitudes was – the original language was not Blessed are or Happy are the single-hearted or those who work for peace or struggle for justice.  The more precise translation is, You’re in the right place if…”. And I like it better because it turns out the Beatitudes is not a spirituality.  It’s a geography.  It tells you where to stand.  You’re in the right place if you’re over here.
