In a world marked by the division and discord, the beloved Jesuit priest offers a transformative vision of the Gregory Boyle community and compassion – a perfect message for readers of Anne Lamot, Mary Oliver and Richard Rohar.
In the last thirty years, Gregory Boyle has killed thousands of people through his work, the largest gang-intervention program in the world as the founder of Homeboy Industries. The program runs on two unbreakable principles: 1) We are all naturally good (no exception), and 2) We belong to each other (no exception).
Boyle believes that these two thoughts allow all of us to cultivate in a new way to see the world. The new story proposes a village that cherishs a village instead of tribalism. Puoca, a member of a former gang, clearly calls it: “Here, love is our lens. This is how we see things.”
In the nurtured related, Boyle called the origin of Christianity back as a spiritual movement of equality, liberation and peace. Early Christianity was a way of life – not a group of beliefs. Boyle’s community vision is a place for people to join together and recover each other in a new collective life, dedicated to a world, which is a constant and radical work. As a homi, Marcus told a class full of teenagers in the internal city, “If love was a place, it would be homeboy.”
Sanjony invites us to nurture the connections that are around us and live with kindness. Boyle believes that “the answer to every question is, in fact, compassion.” Through colored and intense stories with knowledge, humor and inspiration, we understand that love is light inside everything.
