In John's account of the Resurrection, “the other disciple” enters the empty tomb, sees, and believes. Why is this detail included? “I think the hope here is that we not focus on some historical moment that happened, but rather an understanding of what the risen life is here and now,” says Greg, founder and president of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and reentry program in the world.“ The risen life is meaningful now, or it's not meaningful at all.” In this Easter Sunday episode of Preach, Greg shares with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., how we might recognize and receive God's “tender glance” not only at Easter but every day. “How do we notice the notice of God?” he asks. “And then become that notice of God in the world?” For Greg, the Resurrection isn't only about what happened to Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. “We're all going to die, and none of us will live forever, but we really can live in the forever,” he says. “The risen Lord is here and now—in the struggle, in the loss, in the grieving, in the delighting, in people sharing their lives with each other. You want to be able to say, ‘I'm right here, and I'm right now, and I'm breathing in the spirit that delights in my being, and now I'm breathing that out into the world. ‘Cause the world could use it.'” Greg is also the bestselling author Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion and Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship and his newest book, Cherished Belonging, the Healing Power of Love in Divided Times. In 2024, he received the nation's highest civilian honor: the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

El Administrador, Jesús y Padre Gregorio Boyle Jesús nos reta a ser hábil y creativo como es el Administrador quitado de su puesto en este evangelio. Jesús dice que ojalá la gente de la luz, ósea los de nosotros que creemos en él y nos atrevemos a ser creativos en servicio del reino. Para mi un ejemplo de eso es el Padre Jesuita Greg Boyle. Padre Greg Boyle es de la ciudad de Los Ángeles. Del año 1986 hasta 92 Padre Greg fue pastor de la Misión Dolores allá en Los Ángeles. Fue la parroquia mas pobre de la ciudad. Allá también había mucha gangas y criminalidad. Esa época se llamó “la década de la Muerte”. En 1992 habían sido mil homicidios relacionados con las gangas. Esa violencia chocó el corazón de Padre Greg. Frente a las tácticas de la policía de masivo encarcelamiento Padre Greg y su comunidad Católica creían que la mayor táctica para acabar con la violencia era tartar los miembros de las gangas como seres humanos, hechos a la imagen y semejanza de Dios. En 1988 comenzaron un Proyecto que hoy día de llama “Homeboy Industries” “homeboy es como los miembros de las gangas se saludan). Industrias Homeboy educa y prepara jóvenes que han escapade de una ganga a que Tengan un buen empleo en varios empleos y negocios. Además los que entran las puertas de Homboy Industrias reciben mucha humana y profesional orientación para seguir siendo buenos jóvenes: hembras y varones. Padre es autor de dos libros: Tatuajes en el Corazón y otros en inglés Barking to the Choir y The Power of Boundless Compassion (El Poder de Compasión Sin Límites). Padre Greg que como Jesús quería ha utilizado su alma, corazón y inteligencia al servicio del Reino de Jesús. Ha recibido el Padre Greg el Premio de Paz en California. En estos días post electorales les ofrezco estas palabras de Padre Greg: “La compasión es mucha mas que sentir el dolor de los demás. La compasión es cuando dejan que esas personas entran su propio corazón. Si amamos a los que Dios ama entonces en la compasión se borran las barreras. Las palabras de Jesús SEAN COMPASIVOS COMO ES COMPASIVO DIOS quiere decir que las barreras que excluyen otras personas de destruyen”. Si me desean enviar comentario:tdeely7352@hotmail.com

In an era marked by division and rising mental health challenges, Fr. Greg Boyle's voice is one we need to hear now more than ever. On this episode of the Cracking Open podcast, I am honored to speak with Fr. Boyle, a man whose work, books, and mission have inspired me for years.Father Gregory Boyle is a Jesuit priest and founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the world's largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights from 1986 to 1992. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles and had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city. He had a front-row seat to the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s, peaking at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992. Law enforcement deployed harsh police tactics and the criminal justice system rolled out policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the primary response to the increased gang violence. But where others saw only criminals, Father Boyle saw people in need of help. So his parish and community members decided to implement a radically different approach – to treat gang members as human beings. In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Whether joining their 18-month employment and re-entry program or seeking discreet services such as tattoo removal or substance abuse resources, their clients are embraced by a community of kinship and offered a variety of free wraparound services to facilitate healing and growth. In this episode, we discuss Fr. Boyle's journey to becoming a priest, the development of Homeboy Industries, and his core principles: “Everybody's unshakably good, no exceptions,” and “We belong to each other, no exceptions.” We also explore the teachings of Jesus, and what Fr. Greg shares is the “marrow of the gospel” emphasizing inclusion, nonviolence, unconditional kindness, and compassion.Fr. Boyle speaks of these concepts in his 2010 New York Times bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, followed by Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship (2017) and The Whole Language: The Power ofExtravagant Tenderness (2021). Recently he debuted Forgive Everyone Everything, an anthology of writings accompanied by Fabian Debora's artwork. He has received the California Peace Prize and has been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldesthonor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize, validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle's vision and work by the organization for over three decades. And in May 2024, Fr. Greg was a recipient of The Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden.Our heartfelt conversation reveals that what everyone seeks is a home – not just a physical space but a place where they are seen, and valued, and where judgment is left at the door.Love, MollyLearn more about Father Greg Boyle and his work with Homeboy Industries hereFollow Homeboy Industries on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

For his service to humanity, Father Boyle has received the California Peace Prize and has been inducted into the California Hall of Fame.

Homeboy Industries is the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, welcoming thousands through our doors each year. Homeboy is centered in its principles that “everyone is good (no exceptions)” and “we belong to each other (no exceptions.)” Fr. Greg shared how the Gospel of Jesus Christ motivates him to build a community of “cherished belonging” that welcomes and honors the wholeness of each person who is encountered. Sister Julia and Fr. Greg explore how Christians go to the margins to be changed, not to reach people or succeed, but try to be helpful. Sister Julia asks about the tension of running a successful nonprofit and being faithful to the Gospel call to be on the margins of society. They also get into the value of storytelling for moving minds and hearts, the importance of having healthy images of God and what Church and holiness mean.

This prophetic book has one of the strangest endings in the whole of Scripture. It closes with a question but no answer. Dr. John reminds us that we are the ones who must respond to the question. "Can we celebrate and worship our God who is boundless in compassion?"The Boundless Compassion of God: Holding two polar positions as one may feel like a tug of war. We may get pulled to one extreme or the other. God is both just and loving, with infinite measure and glorious perfection. How can He be merciful and holy towards fallen humanity? The book of Jonah presents that question through the life, action and words of the prophet. In this 10-session series, Dr. John calls us to a holistic worship of God. He also points us to the example greater than Jonah. Jesus is the prefection of righteousness and compassion.
Imagine a preacher who is angered by the success of his ministry. That's exactly what happens with Jonah. Dr. John points to Jonah's blind spot.

Can a nation change? We may see individuals change the course of their life, but what of a whole society?

To repent is to change. It is a turning from our sins. Dr. John reminds us that repentance is also an expression of hope. It is a turning towards God in the hope of mercy. Today we see a pagan nation like Assyria turn in God's direction.The Boundless Compassion of God: Holding two polar positions as one may feel like a tug of war.

We expect our spiritual leaders to excel in morals, character and actions. But every leader carries a measure of frailty. Today Dr. John reminds us of Jonah's flaws. That reminder doesn't excuse Jonah's sins, but it points to a central truth.

Prayer is a language of life. It is the common expression of every culture and religion. Today Dr. John focuses on the prayer of Jonah. From watery billows and the depth of a fishy belly, Jonah calls out to God for the first time in this book. Like Jonah, the crisis we experience may be the call we need.

The Old Testament makes it clear - God's heart is for the deliverance of all people, Jew and Gentile. Today Dr. John reminds us that while Jonah kept Assyrians at a distance, God extended His mercy.

Christians are prone to thinking that we hold a monopoly on God's goodness. But God's compassion is infinite. Dr. John points to the contrast of a rebellious prophet and pagan sailors. The sailors recognized God's Hand even before Jonah. Those with no faith foundation made vows and prayer to the one true God.The Boundless Compassion of God: Holding two polar positions as one may feel like a tug of war.

We read in the news or see on TV, criminals who run or race from the police. Since they rarely escape, why do it? The offenders are moved by guilt. Today Dr. John speaks of Jonah who runs from an omnipresent God. Did he expect to hide? It seems that guilt can move God's prophet as well. We are no different.The Boundless Compassion of God: Holding two polar positions as one may feel like a tug of war. We may get pulled to one extreme or the other.

We are all in need of God's mercy, and are glad to receive it!

How do you get people to the other side of trauma? In the 1980s, Father Greg Boyle served as a pastor in LA's poorest parish — which also had the city's highest concentration of gang activity. Thirty-four years later, he is known as the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang rehab and re-entry program in the world. The sense of belonging created there is so strong that former gang rivals can work side-by-side in Homeboy's bakeries, cafes, and shops. In this touching conversation with the Surgeon General, Fr. Boyle offers wisdom for us all on how we can emotionally navigate past anger and bridge divides. And why he believes “kindness is the only non-delusional response to everything.” Father Greg Boyle, Jesuit Priest & Founder of Homeboy Industries Instagram: @homeboyindustries Twitter: @homeboyind Facebook: @homeboyindustries About Father Greg Boyle Father Gregory Boyle is the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. Born and raised in Los Angeles and Jesuit priest, from 1986 to 1992 Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles that also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city. Fr. Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Fr. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller “Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion.” His second book, “Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship,” was published in 2017. And his new and third book is “The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness,” which debuted in Fall of 2021. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle's vision and work by the organization for over three decades.

158: A Radical Approach to Nonprofit Leadership (Tom Vozzo)SUMMARYHow do you balance capitalistic skills and passion for a cause? Tom Vozzo, who left a highly successful corporate career to become an unpaid nonprofit CEO of the internationally acclaimed Homeboy Industries, is eminently qualified to answer such a question. In episode #158 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, you'll hear Tom share many of the lessons he's learned by leading this Los Angeles-based organization, and how he advocates for more social impact awareness in the for-profit community. He know it's the nonprofit sector that can employ many individuals once thought unemployable, and has clear, pragmatic advice for how nonprofit leaders can best support people on the margins of society who are trying to move into the workforce. As a committed capitalist himself, he knows leaders can be mission-driven yet combine that with business knowledge informed by past experiences. Tom shares what he sees are the biggest differences between nonprofit and corporate cultures and the lessons we can all learn to bridge these sectors.ABOUT TOMThomas Vozzo left a lucrative career in corporate America convinced there had to be a better way to define success. In 2012, Vozzo became the first-ever CEO of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. Vozzo's journey goes from billion-dollar revenues—his last corporate role was as CEO of the $1.8 billion ARAMARK Uniform and Career Apparel Group—to a volunteer unpaid CEO of a nonprofit built on compassion, kinship, empathy and social justice. In Vozzo's first book, The Homeboy Way: A Radical Approach to Business and Life, he gives readers practical ways to address some of our most vexing social issues and provides a new path for personal and business leadership. Vozzo shares lessons learned both in secular business as well as faith-based pursuits to help readers from all walks of life thrive.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCESTattoos On the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Father Gregory BoyleThe Long Loneliness by Dorothy DayLearn more about Homeboy IndustriesPatton's book Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership: Seven Keys to Advancing Your Career in the Philanthropic Sector

This week we did something a little different. We interviewed Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries. While he is not a grown-up punk kid, he is a grown-up we respect on many levels. His lifetime commitment to helping people who are in the margins is truly an inspiration. Big thanks to Father Greg for coming on! We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed the interview. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, Father Greg and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of men and women who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Father Greg is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. His 2017 book is the Los Angeles Times-bestseller Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, the White House named Father Boyle a Champion of Change.
