People only change when they are cherished and when they are treated with tenderness.
Quote by Fr. Gregory Boyle
Gregory Boyle.S.J. is the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. He is an American Roman Catholic priest of the Jesuit order.
Fr. Boyle says , “We are in the business of second chances.” Check out all the industries he created to transform lives… give second chances. https://homeboyindustries.org/social-enterprises/
REFLECTION:
- Is there someone you have been trying to change?
- Is there someone who has hurt you or you have hurt that may need a second chance?
- As we approach the holidays, consider how you can consciously treat someone with extra tenderness so that they feel cherished. Try it and see what happens!
- Let me know.
