Probably some of the best radio on RTE in a long time was aired this morning.
Gregory Boyle spoke about his work with gangs in LA.
He is in Ireland on a speaking tour. His own book is 'Tatoos on the Heart'.
Boyle is a Jesuit priest. In his early years as a Jesuit he was sent to Peru but got ill and had to return to the US.
"The poor in Peru had a privileged revelation for me," he said and he is now running a major operation in LA in the fight against gangs.
Gregory Boyle was on the Sean O'Rourke Show this morning circa 10.53 - if anyone wants to listen to him on the RTE Player.
He was a great example of what priests can do and another sign of the charism of the Jesuits.
No cliches, no pious nonsense. all about people and how people can be helped to realise their dignity, especially those who are weak and fragile.
