CHERISHED

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.
