"Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion"
-------------
Father Greg, director and founder of Homeboy Industries, speaks to his decades of experience as a priest working in Boyle Heights, one of the poorest communities in Los Angeles, with the largest concentration of gangs in the city. He shares stories of many of the young people he's worked with over the years, who in most cases have been traumatized by child abuse or neglect, or have been witnesses to domestic violence, and carry the scars of all this far into adulthood. He illuminates how these youth seek alternative "families" in order to escape the lack of nurturing at home, and how by offering hope and unconditional love, these young people can grow into confident, productive adults and citizens.

If we all had just a little of Fr. Greg’s sense of humanity in our heart, and we are all do, our world would find peace.

We are now reading this book in my English class, and our Professor said that Father Boyle came to my school in 2015 and it was the best presentation I ever went to.I wanted you to know that we are learning about his compassion.

Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth. Your Job Description is to Appear and because you have Chosen to Appear; the Soul feels it’s Worth. We are ONE together.

Wonderful video! During the Q & A portion at the end of this video, Father G shares some stories I have not heard him share in other videos or writings. I especially appreciate the length of this presentation; Father G is a gifted and moving speaker, here he has the time to pace the delivery of his heart-opening stories and include all of the expression, nuance, and details that come so naturally to him.

That's not solely words of wisdom for gang member. I've heard it said half way to knowing the answer, is also halfway to the answer. My question is if u would elaborate on the subject of the addicted whom become mules and runs and runs, the associates of gang members, and their minions they sit back and take credit for the work they don't do themselves, using the laws of power to manipulate the easily exploitable, and how is it going to be possible to open your heart, making it limited edition style yo, as far as softening of hearts, and expanding your heart if help is limited to felonious and affiliated solely? Do u know we're the only country who who's openly declared war on our citizens in the name of inanimate objects, by declaring the war on drugs, that's a war on fuckin people Homes, those are my brothers and sisters of this universe, and they're dieing Bro, don't want to die, necessarily, but don't know how to live either. Sometimes dieing feels like it'd be easier. For everyone!
