Disciples grow in love, not goodness.
Ever wondered how to live with more love? This episode of 'Cracking Open with Molly Carroll' features a heartfelt conversation with Fr. Greg Boyle, the Jesuit priest and founder of Homeboy Industries. Homeboy Industries is the world's largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry programme. Fr. Boyle shares his journey from witnessing the devastating impact of gang violence in Los Angeles to founding an organisation that treats gang members as human beings deserving of love and compassion.
The discussion is centred around the core principles of inclusion, nonviolence, unconditional kindness, and compassion, all rooted in the teachings of Jesus. Fr. Boyle's stories are both moving and enlightening. He recounts his experiences with gang members who, despite their challenging behaviours, are seen as inherently good. His approach is to see beyond their actions and understand the circumstances that led them there.
One memorable story involves a young man named Danny, who initially refused to step through the doors of Homeboy Industries but eventually found a sense of belonging and purpose there. The episode also touches on broader themes of mental health and societal division, making Fr. Boyle's message of love and compassion even more relevant today. His perspective that 'disciples grow in love, not goodness' challenges us to focus on understanding and loving others more deeply.
Molly Carroll's engaging style makes this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, community healing, or simply living a more loving life. By the end, you'll be inspired to approach your own life with greater compassion and kindness. Don't miss out on this inspiring conversation that reminds us all of the power of love and community.
