"We chant any number of things, and "Black lives matter," is one of the prominent refrains. Also, "Put the guns down," "Save the babies," "We love you, your are brothers, we love you, your our sons," and various other such things. Towards the end of this Summer, we went to the house of a neighborhood gang leader, to call him out, and offer support for him to change."

xoxo,  you're a walking, talking saint!  The beauty of your action and prayers almost brings me to tears. 
I'll join you from a distance by praying that God gives you, all of you, the grace to continue saying the words that will lead these criminals to Christ.  I'll pray that the power of your love gives them the hope and vision that they can be virtuous heroes in Christ, like you.  God must love you greatly.
