Hi, great video :) What is the music playing throughout?
Who hearts their own comment?
Goalcast!!! This is the best ever!!!
How can I help expand your vision?
WOW! BEAUTIFUL!! Don't giveup on eachother, we're all human..
We can learn so much from every single person regardless of what their background is.
Absolutely.
True
"Everyone has a story to tell "
In the Middle East they'll teach ya somethin for sure 😂
Unless it's Ted Bundy
When I was a teen I was in a "gang". We didn't have a name and we were mostly Italian and Irish guys. Three of my friends went to prison. I had a strong Irish mother that I feared more than the law.
I love this man thank you father G
Wow. That got me emotional. Didn’t expect it.
Totally Amazing. Your a hero Mario
This dude truly understand the burden people carry on
Everyone in society is born differently but in the end we are still all people
This was wholesome
Man, why you gotta make me cry like that. Not cool dude, not cool.
100% right
Ah, the old seek out your local gang for advice route. Because we’ll, they’re so knowledgeable.
When he said “da homies” tho
Stop throwing people away. Amen.
I think what Mario meant was he hoped his children don't make the same mistakes he has made.
You are a real BMF

Nice
Awesome quote. Wow! Such people are really like the banyan tree which gives shelter, rest and respite from scorching sun to many wanderers under it's shadow. Awesome folks .
I like that, gonna have to remember that one
🙁 📸 [screenshot] 😶
Gang members chose their path. They should take responsibility for their decisions.
Shoutout Mario. Let us all be like him.
I do believe his past is what made him who he is today, but sometimes our hardest moments define us for the rest of our lives
Except selling vegan baked goods ;), gotta be kind to all kinds.
Amén
For anyone wanting to be like Mario, I have a tattoo parlour just around the corner...come and visit me.
@@Jeus-h3o yeah right Amen 💕
We have to be like Jesus not by a singul human
Im an ex felon who did prison time. Since my release i havent so much as gotten a ticket. Ive had my record expunged and own multiple pieces of property. I always say i dont want my kids to be like me. This story..... Wow. Thank you for that ..
Respect bro
Keep pushing forward
Keep on keeping on and respect to you.

Smart men learn from their own mistakes.. Wise men learn from others..
Your Favorite Lifecoach is one preferred over the other?
Wouldn’t it be the other way around? Because you are wise from experience
Zistigy Some things you do need to learn from your own mistakes, but like I tell my young niece... The more you learn from my mistakes, the less falling and getting back up you have to do.
Sometimes its better to learn from others mistakes early in your life than learning it very late in your life after its too late...
For so long, i believed it was better to learn from my own mistakes rather than listening to those around me.. my thought process was that the hardship I endure will be my own and my own experience I can speak from. More recently, I’ve been learning that many of those hardships just don’t need to be experienced. Thank you for sharing

I saw the thumbnail of the video and wondered to myself sarcastically "what kind of knowledge and wisdom could a gangster have that I would want to know?". 20 years ago my mother was murdered by gangsters, her past had finally caught up to her. Since then I've hated gang culture and anyone who embraces or emulates it. I finished the video and was left with a sense of clarity. There is an estimated 6.8-7.2 billion people in this world, and the vast majority of them are just trying to get by as best they can. I learned that I need to remember that, to be compassionate, and to be humble.
god bless your mother may she rest in peace, im sorry my brother, thats the crazy thing about lifethopugh , there are lessons to be learned from people werernot even looking to be taught from
You have officially achieved maximum maturity and compassion. Thank you for being a wonderful human
The nicest person I've ever met was a banger from pico rivera, who started shooting people at 13
Perspective💯💯💪
may your mom rest in peace and yea kids are literally born in that environment where they cant even ask their parents money to buy food and they might come off aggressive but once you get to know their story its really fucked up i lost a friend of mine when he was 15 it was just his birthday its a fucked up cycle going on everywhere in america people who grew up in the streets are the most smartest people i ever knew best believe that
"He's proof....that only the soul that ventilates the world with tenderness has any chance of changing the world "
That bit makes me cry every...... Single...... Time
That's exactly when I lost it.
oh, so naive XD
"Stop throwing people away, help them returned them to themselves, stand together." really amazing message.
Naga Gotama Adhiwijaya you take love to the strangers , to the lost , the broken hearted, to bring good cheer, hope instead of a word despair...to lift them up physically mentally from their ashes , you will be an annointed vessel to them ... Isaiah 61: 1-4..
Some people deserve to be thrown away
Nicholas Workman or ask your high power to remove you from them , until you can find a way to exist near them...
@@nicholasworkman3083 yep
I myself was saved, immore than blessed to have 2nd chance. All praise to GOD
As obvious as it may seem, Mario doesn’t want his son to be like him, to be involved in gangs. But the woman wanted his son to be like him, as a human being. That’s what’s so beautiful with this speech. Respect to Mario, as a beautiful human being.
Perspective, It’s all about how you view your self.
As he said "the homies" i knew he was part of the gang
Never ever judge someone until you have walked a mile in thier shoes and lived thier life!
Once they find out you have their shoes, you'll be a mile away.
He came to my school last year, he brought some of the former gang members with him, he's a really nice guy. :D
Matthew KH, He sound like he's submissive; no wonder those supposed gang members took to him.
Are you insinuating that being a gang member is submissive? Or gang members crowd around “submissive” people because you think they see submissive people as soft?
Michael Hodgden what is, “respected?”
As the Mother of four sons, I can tell you some of the friends they brought home were scary sometimes but they were the ones who were the most amazing people. Appearances really don't mean much.. it's what's in the heart that matters.
I just want to say I LOVE YOU to whoever reading my comment.. this world is a one big family :)
Hope we all fight this Corona.!
Wholesome.
We love you too
Love you too my brother
@@BasedNeptune its brother here, not sister.. Haha

This man is what jesus talks about how we should live.
No
No, he’s not.
True
Roll up
Gave me goosebumps. That’s why no matter what somebody tattoos are or what there life is like. You gotta give them a chance and get to know them. More people are much different than you think
Amen brotha
Your Boss I agree 100%.
@Your Boss thats not the message of this. Apparently, This is a small program where some ex gang members are given an opportunity to find towards god. what is wrong about that? Noone says criminals are harmless and law obeying citizens are not. They say everyone deserves another chance because in the end, everyone is innocent.
Jonan Stein *EX*. People dont understand how hard it is to get out of that alive.
#yourboss. Get out of your Egos way and experience life. It’s a shame when we get lost in our own beliefs.
Bookmarked as “video to make grown man or woman cry”
This man embodies the “leave everything better” mantra.
"We should stop throwing people away."
Very profound - because it's true.
Hard but true
Not everyone deserve to be saved
What are corporate government good at.
Go tell this to Amazon
One act of kindness goes a long way in somebody's heart and life.....
*Those who have often had to endure suffering and pain doubt themselves and their value in the world, but equally they are just as often the ones which the world can learn the most from. Mario sounds like an amazing man.*
In my experience good men think themselves the most evil and evil men think themselves the most good
@@mondaysinsanity8193 That is not ultimately true for only positivity can truely manifest good will and as does negativity bad will. Truely there are many good light hearted people like Mario who I have a heart for and who only truely want good thing's for other's and think negatively upon themselves but in the process they know not what they do. I say this not out of pride or self righteousness but out of truth. If a man think or speak negatively about himself he is eventually going to start believing it and this is VERY VERY DESTRUCTIVE. Doing something like that is like begging something bad too happen it's one thing to be good and have a good heart but if you let any negativity speep in it can slowly rap around your neck destroy you like a mighty python conquering it's pray and then how can you help anyone when they truley need you most? It's one thing to die so someone else won't have to or to dedicate your life to helping other's. Infact there's even a benefit in understanding pain so you want repeat something wrong or foolish but never wonder in self petty and look down on yourself this is like inviting the devil into your life. DESTRUCTION IS DESTRUCTION and serves no one, invite it into your life and it will invite you into death. Though light hearted looking down on yourself is like looking down on the creator itself and is an insult to "GOD" for you are and where made in the likeness of "GOD"!!!!!!!!
@@jamesworley9888 if you wanna go religious on this the devil has no direct control over you but does lie, decieve and blind. Hence it is the devil that would promote righteousness while jesus preached humbleness, truth etc.
Thank you Gregory Boyle. You have changed minds and you have changed lives. And we have all benefited from it in some fashion. God bless you....
I think he's about healing hearts. From what I see here, a lot of them most in need of healing aren't the ones with tattoos and prison records.
*Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. ¥*
It seems like it's manifesting faster due to whatever reason. Google, the government, whomever, every generation knew love and caring is precious. We're evolving as a species and I choose to love everyone as the collective verses being self serving only as so many were in the boomer gen and early gen x.
@@plaguex1 Gen X is not self serving. We didn't grow up as narcissists taking selfies.

Love it
I like that thanks man, not sure if its ur original or a quote from someone else but dont matter its inspiring
For the whole law is summed up in one commandment: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Galatians 5:14
GreenIce, Nice. And what if you don't love yourself?
Michael Hodgden you love yourself youre just blinded to it
Michael Hodgden It means treat them how people should be treated. Some examples: You don’t want to be stolen from, so don’t steal. Same with cheating or pretty much anything else. I do hope you learn to love yourself though- I’m learning how to love myself at the moment and I wish you the best
Michael Hodgden Exactly. That’s why you have to learn to love yourself first, and accept yourself.
You are right. Love others and you make the world a better place.
He was an alum at my high school and would give a speech there all the time. It was so inspiring to hear because our high school was fairly wealthy but the surrounding area was not. Many of us would overlook the people outside, but I know he didn't. He's doing what he can for the LA area. And it shows in his powerful words.
Brad Villacis 10 dollars this never happend
Dip Rip no it definitely must’ve happened. My pops and mom gotta picture of them with Father Greg Boyle at my mom’s mom wedding with my step grandfather back in the 80s
They’re from Boyle Heights
@@dankwood8798 Father Greg was in my class at Loyola High "72" he definitely would go back to where he learned.
The LAPD is tired of this guy.
Wow this was beautiful, powerful and just leaves you a different person than you were before you watched. Even if it's just a smidgen of a change, it's there. Bless these people! And the woman was absolutely right in telling Mario of his children and the way Mario is. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!!
This man showed gang members the ultimate love and changed their lives. Modern day Jesus if you ask me. I’m glad he is helping these young men out and changing their lives for the better.
“ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” john 15:13.
Is that what Anderson Cooper said?
@@rokyericksonroks Anderson Cooper has never looked at a gang member. Nor has he ever read a Bible. Anderson Cooper constantly shouts for segregation.
Hallelujah! Thanks Father Gregory, I needed that. I'm a recovering addict, felon, and the guys in white suits say I'm crazy. But I stand with you and the God we serve. Bless you sir.

Glad you found his words. He knows more about healing than any damned therapist!
"And a thousand total perfect strangers stand...and they will not stop clapping" -- a simple yet powerful reward for the victorious.
AMEN! God bless ALL the Marios in the world.
Super Mario too right?
Thank you!
whenever I'm low I listen to this. I know one day I'm going to be far from where I am. watching this video gives me some sort of FAITH knowing this darkness can't last forever .... Patiently wailting for my Sun to rise.
I just want to let U know someone cares. Don't give up. I don't know U but I wish U the best and hope the Sun rises for U soon🙏
Bought me to tears this morning. What a beautiful video :)
Matthew Gould 7 months later it did the same thing to me man lol
No joke about 10 hours ago this video got me aswell! We cried together. Man up
It got me too
got me too
Lol at all y'all !!! But I'm just like Mario just no face tats ! Everyone who thinks this is a good speech does have a heart and good soul ! Most ppl can't get over the fact he's a gang member , and it's sad because I no longer gang bang AT ALL and i know my heart and I'm struggling to get clean again but being sober and helping others get out of the pain and struggle I fought with since I was about 12 is all I want to do ! I think about it all the time so I know that's what God put me here to do ! When I got into all that I didn't know what I was getting into AT ALL , that life chose me I didn't choose it nor when I took my first painkiller at 12 for my Crohn's disease did I think I was going to be a heroin addict ! I said all that to say life is not always what it looks like but more of how you look at it , even back then if someone showed me love I showed love back while people stabbed me in the back while I was nothing but loyal now I would give the shirt off my back and the last 20 in my pocket to a friend in need but I'm also not perfect ! I made plenty of mistakes and I paid for them ! I've always confessed them to the God of my understanding and asked for forgiveness and idc who believes or knows I'm truely sorry to all the ppl I hurt is God , my mother , and those ppl I hurt ! No matter gang member , addict , homeless , etc etc we are all humans all people make mistakes or if you believe we all sin , however it is not how you fall but how you get up and what you do when your up and on your feet ! Every day there is someone you can give a little bit of kindness and love to whether it's kind words , a dollar to a poor man , and ear to listen to them , a hand to pat them on the back because you never know if you do one of those simple things , they may be the next ones to change and give the next person a hand , if everyone did this gangs , drug dens , homeless camps , prisons would barely exist ! Love one another and if your in a position to , then lend a hand for someone who's looking for someone to listen because now one ever has , that 5 mins you spend listening to them is a huge deal to them and its nothing to you because you had to wait for the bus anyway or whatever it may be but that kindness you showed just changed his life now a man will be on a stage telling a touching story about them ! God bless you all all and much love !
Wow… I personally know Mario and he is the most down to earth person. I can only say THANK YOU FATHER G, for giving Mario and myself an opportunity.
I cant believe hes still alive. Awesome man and I'm not catholic anymore but I respect this man. I saw father boyle when I was about 15 or 16 in Pomona he gave a wonderful speech. Hard to believe he's still doing well despite the cancer
Jose Galvez Father Boyle?????? Whos "father" is he???
@@israelitereign2824 I am not Catholic but this man is a father in so many ways to the men whose dads were never present when they needed them leading them to a gangster lifestyle. Now he can love them and give them some sort of fatherly care.
I met the Man When I was 15 In Central Juvenile Hall I'm 18 now. He truly is an inspiration, for all the Forgotten voices behind bars. No matter the background or circumstances, everybody has a dream they can achieve.
These are lovely and very true Words. I was a Gang member for many Years. 20, Years of Incarceration left me with all those I Loved are dead and gone. I wake everyday to find a reason not to end my.Life. for some reason, many animals seem to come to me for help. I..feel these are the ones I.Love come back to give me a reason to Live. To help animals and others. That's how I try make right, what I used to do wrong. I have helped quite a lit of people, where being bullied by minor Gangs.
May God forgive a Pilgrim,who lost his way and still lost, but with good intention in his Heart.
From a British War Veteran
Hopefully things are still going well for you. We all serve a purpose and we do not always recognize that purpose, but hopefully yours is to care for those humans and animals that come and are trodden before you so that you may lift their spirits as well as your own. A smile, a thank you or just simply being noticed is all some ask for and you seem to be doing it quite well. Best wishes to you and hopes you continue to stay on the good track of life. 🙂👍💖
@@anotherrandomperson5154 Thank so much. I really appreciate your kind Words.
@@stevenhenry7862 you are very much welcome! 😁👍 Have a beautiful day! 🌞
Try to make right our wrongs..a never ending feat..I still try to anyway but I havent accomplished this yet but I do understand the only way to be ok with the past is to forgive ourselves sometimes that's the biggest feat of all...
In everything u said "that's how I try to make it right" stuck out to me..its such a burden when we make it one which I am good at, so very good at..something I said a while back to a friend when I was talking about something deep..I stopped mid sentence and was like u know what sucks??....memories..they can be great or they can be the last thing you want..sometimes they just suck
In 1998 I read a book by Father Greg for english class. 2019 and I see this video on my recommendation. Much love bro.
The more I endure suffering/ trials in my daily life the more I become stronger and face challenges no matter what it takes .
The word ‘humanity’ has lost all meaning.
Til you see a video like this.
..we’re simply family
i think ill visit church on sunday...
havent gone there since last year
Plz do. May God blss u
Brought me to tears... At last a good recommendation from YT.
"only the soul that ventilates the world with tenderness has any chance of changing the world" Father Gregory Boyle
Big lump in my throat...and tears. Blessings.
Beautiful. Im so thankful God gave me a chance. I been in and out for most of my life. And for the past 5 years ive done a 3 60 all because of the grace of God and people like father G. GOD DOESN'T MAKE TRASH. WE WERE ALL MADE FOR A REASON AND PURPOSE. SEEK GOD AND FIND IT. GOOD BLESS TO ALL IN THE STRUGGLE NEVER GIVE UP.
I met Father Boyle at my school, really cool guy. My school does immersion trips with Homeboy Industries and i’m planning on going.
Being an atheist myself, it is nice to see religious leader actually doing works of love, compassion and inclusion instead of hate, suppression and intorance.
It has nothing to do with religion, dude... Like the Dalai Lama said: "The best religion is a kind heart."
@@jaironunez7196 True. But a kind heart isn’t a religion.
I hate religion too.. u should come to my side.. saved by grace in jesus. Not of doing commandments or nada but in living in the spirit . And since u mentioned the works of love.. let me show you where it comes from.. not of pleasures sake.. i mean ur right about religion; i mean the bible says this worlds god is lucifer. But god is spirit and is bringing his spiritual kingdom soon
"Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

@@theunjustservant9220 please stop quoting your beliefs at me. If I was a child or as easily brainwashed as you, I would already believe in the greatest human con like yourself.
For some reason I thought he was going to talk about Super Mario.
Sameeee
But he did talk about super Mario, didn't he? 😂 Don't r/woosh me now!
"Only the soul that ventilates the world with tenderness has any chance of changing the world"...
You need a Father's heart to do this. Thank you for standing with Mario and telling his story.
I just want to say I LOVE YOU to whoever reading my comment.
I have had to watch this video repeatedly to really take in all the Love that is shared.
Oh my friends, my Brothers and Sisters this is the Love That Will Change Everyone and Everything in This World.
I send each of you one big Hug with much Love to everyone who reads these words!
Shalom-
My God this was powerful and so beautiful 💖 I cried deeply from my soul 🙏🏻 I feel so strongly about every word he said, nobody is born bad we all our just doing our best with what we were given, if your born into poverty violence crime substance abuse dysfunctional families lack of love lack of self worth the list is endless, your chances are limited, your inner self is fractured your worth your beliefs are tarnished the likelihood you will end up living this type of life is understandably high and understandably justified people are just coming from what they no what they’ve been taught what they’ve been shown and everyone is ultimately just trying to survive, just trying to belong ❤️ What an amazing man what an amazing centre, the world needs more people like this man and more places like that 🙏🏻 Beautiful, Love breeds Love it’s just simple as that x x
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! INSPIRATION AT IT'S FINEST! GOD BLESS YOU & THE MARIOS OF THE WORLD! 💪😎🙏❤💯
I dont know gangsters are scary and kills people. I think it should be their victims who should speak out.
Beautiful and moving....gives home for humanity....made my heart soar watching this. 😊
So where can I send all my money for mario?
Mario is priceless, making your money worthless...
Just be sincerely good (loving) to people.
Great to grow together ...
Be a helping hand for somebody...
Amen
Father Greg, u r my greatest inspiration! I admire you so much! U r my role model, I hope to follow ur path and at least make 10% of the impact u made to this beautiful world of ours. God bless u Father, u return me to myself ❤❤
This was truely a powerful speech.
This is so freaking Beautiful 🤣🤣😍🥰🥺btw u wanna just say this who ever is reading this I really love u have a beautiful day ❤️I'ma end this with a AMEN BROTHER and sisters AMEN
God Blees you Father Greg you have made a change in so many life's thank you for being a great example to us all.
This video brought tears to my eyes.I can't believe almost a thousand people dislike this video! What is wrong with you?
It is so bizarre hearing an elderly white man use the word "homeboy," but these are some great people doing great things, and I completely respect it.
"Homies" 😂😂
Yeah golden wind is very inspirational
I love that man, he's been helping people out like me in LA for years.
Amazing stuff. It's so easy to condemn, and sometimes you could argue it's justified to condemn, but it isn't Gods way.
Mario. Whoever you are. Thank you. The sincerity in your eyes match the great intentions within your heart.
I’ve been to HomeBoy Industries. it’s a place of HOPE and a Giant step in finding your True Direction.
I saw Fr. Boyle speak at an IHI conference in December of 2018. Ever since, I have listened to keynotes he has given, lectures, anything that I can get my hands on. What Homeboy Industries has done in California, is incredible. Standing together no matter the differences among us is a life lesson so many have benefited from and so many more will inadvertently benefit from as time passes. I look forward to spreading Fr. Boyle's words and the testimonies of those he has stood next to far beyond the boarders of California.
Hi
Oh how amazing that you have helped all these people. Thats the love of God may God bless you abundantly for the awesome work you have been doing.
Bruh i nearly cried :')
These stories are great, heart warming and a fun thing to watch to get all sappy and warm inside. What we need is real systemic change. Give people opportunities, like affordable college, access to healthcare, a livable wage. We need to make being a good dad and mom cool again. Put worth in helping and loving your fellow man instead of tearing down and dominating. We can have many charities and organizations bit with out change in how we run government and politics things will never change.
I threw myself away for years
Only The soul that ventilates the world with tenderness has a chance of changing it
thanks for sharing this video👍❤👍
listen for the sake of listening❣
peace,love&blessings to everyone☮❤🙏
The homies call this old dude el gringo
He can’t be that bad, can he?
Wow, we love Mario's kind eyes.
I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream that I know is just!
Amazing message! Keep up the great work.
Who said a gangster can't fly? Fly Mario fly!
I can relate. I worked at a juvenile prison for 10 years. The meztizos had my back more than admin did.
But when you are not in prison... you might pay for having Someone s back regardless of what you did... this is why prisons are filled even having your own back gets you locked up.... in some situations...all about values... and character....
Current situation has distanced everyone but we find ways to unite to make the world a better place. Thank you
