Podcasts about tattoos on the heart

In May, FATHER GREGORY BOYLE, founder of HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES in Los Angeles — the largest gang intervention and re-entry program in the world — was honored by President Biden with the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. Homeboy said that Boyle “…exemplifies the transformative power of compassion, forgiveness, and second chances. For nearly forty years, Father Greg has empowered hundreds of thousands of individuals to break free from the cycles of poverty, violence, and incarceration.” Here's our 2010 conversation where we talk about his work and his first book, TATTOOS ON THE HEART. We were joined by Luis Perez, one of the senior staff at Homeboy. Learn more: homeboyindustries.org

WATCH VIDEO: https://youtu.be/r7FR6R_sWqcToday, Fr. Victor introduces us to one of his favorite books—Tattoos on the Heart by Greg Boyle, SJ. In this memoir, Fr. Boyle shares the spiritual lessons the Lord has taught him in serving for 20+ years in LA, in the most densely gang-populated area in the world. A location in our Archdiocese gets a shout out in the book! The concrete examples of compassion from this book give us much to consider here on our Native Soil. Dig In Further:“How can we let people live like this?” This is what one of Fr. Boyle's “homies” said in between sobs after visiting our Native Soil—Pritchard namely. It is a provocative question for us to take to prayer and consideration. How might the Lord want to convict us about the conditions of our neighbors' lives? How might he convict us to make a change?What are the broken systems in your home town? What are the cycles of violence? Poverty? Drug addiction? Neglect? What act of love would it take to break these systems? What systems built on love, compassion and commitment would need to replace them?Are their non-profits in your town to help rehabilitate the poor, addicted, homeless, mentally-ill or gang-affiliated? How might you support these efforts? If there is not, how might you and your parish beginning praying and studying about what God is calling you to do?

We can always use stories of redemption. Father GREGORY BOYLE created HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES to provide jobs, training, and encouragement so that young people -- often former enemies -- could work together and learn mutual respect. BOYLE has made a point of collecting powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more of those than anyone should know. As of this 2010 conversation, he had buried 168 of his homies, and filled his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. Our conversation also includes LUIS PEREZ, one of the senior staff at Homeboy.

We can always use stories of redemption. Ira Glass says the best story form is the one used in sermons: stories with lessons. Father GREGORY BOYLE has made a point of collecting uniquely powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more of those than anyone should know. As of 2010, he had buried 168 of his homies, and filled his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. I read it cover to cover on a plane flight and cried at least a dozen times. Father Boyle's compassion is boundless. Our conversation also includes LUIS PEREZ, one of the senior staff at Homeboy.

Growing up, she thought she'd either be on Broadway or spend her life saving all the whales, but she accidentally fell in love with teaching.

Scottie needs someone to beer her some strength on a family vacation, Grace finds joy walking through IKEA without kids, and Laura recommends the book Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle.

Han Solo is one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars franchise. George Lucas described the character as "a loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good." What happened before Solo's realization of a larger purpose? How did he become the loner, smuggler, pilot, and space criminal we know today? As we talk about his prequel story, we reveal themes and questions that we still share and face today.

Father Greg is a Jesuit priest and the founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries, the largest, most successful gang intervention program in Los Angeles. Homeboy, whose motto is “Nothing Stops a Bullet Like a Job”, takes gang members (homeboys and homegirls) fresh out of detention centers and offers everything from job training and placement to tattoo removal. Reflecting on over 20 years of experience with the gangs, Father Greg has recently published “Tattoos on the Heart” which has been on the Los Angeles Times best seller list all summer. He has received numerous humanitarian awards, among them the California Peace Prize. He lives in Los Angeles.

Father Greg (affectionately known as G-dog), pastor of Dolores Mission in Boyle Heights since 1986, has made it his mission to help at-risk youth. His remedy for what he calls "a global sense of failure" is radical and simple: boundless, restorative love. His book, filled with sparkling humor and generosity, gives a window on gangs in the context of spirituality.

Aired 04/11/10 Father Boyle has made a point of collecting and telling uniquely powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more than anyone should know.He has so far buried 168 of his homies, and fills his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. I read it cover to cover on a plane flight Chicago to LA, and cried at least a dozen times. Boyle's compassion is boundless, his work is courageous, and his example is a profound challenge. Father GREGORY BOYLE was ordained a Jesuit priest in 1982. He received his Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology; and a Sacred Theology Masters degree from the Jesuit School of Theology. Since 1986, Father Gregory has been the pastor of Dolores Mission in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The church sits between two large public housing projects, Pico Gardens and Aliso Village, known for decades as the gang capital of the world. In 1988, Father Boyle began what would become Homeboy Industries, now located in downtown Los Angeles. His first book is TATTOOS ON THE HEART. http://www.homeboy-industries.org/
