Hello all,

I have been blessed with the opportunity to correspond with state inmates via a volunteer organization. These inmates and all those who serve them in the criminal justice system could really use your thoughts and prayers.

Blessings,
catherine

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Catherine – those who are imprisoned are part of my daily prayer, and I will add those who work and serve them, too. Thank you for the reminder. God bless your work.
 
Catherine, I will include your requests/intentions in my daily prayers. God watch over all those imprisoned and those you assist them. In Jesus’ Name I pray:crossrc:

Peace & all good
 
O Divine Prisoner of the sanctuary,
Who for love of us and for our salvation
not only enclosed Yourself
within the narrow confines of human nature
and then hid Yourself under the veils of the Sacramental Species,
but also continually live in the tabernacle!
Hear their prayers which rises to You
from within the walls
and which longs to express to You their affection,
our sorrow, and the great need they have of You in their tribulations,
above all, in the loss of freedom which so distresses them.

And finally, there are those among them
who have succumbed to sin so often
through the course of their earthly lives
that even the best among men mistrust them,
and they hardly know how to set out
on the new road of regeneration.
But despite all this,
in the most hidden corner of their souls
a voice of trust and comfort whispers Your words,
promising them the help of Your light
and Your grace if they want to return to what is good.

May they, O Lord, never forget that the day of trial
is an opportune time for purifying the spirit,
practicing the highest virtues,
and acquiring the greatest merits.
Let not afflicted hearts be affected
by that disgust which dries up everything,
or by that distrust which leaves no room
for brotherly sentiments
and which prepared the road for bad counsel.

May they always remember that,
in depriving them of the freedom of their bodies,
no one has been able to deprive them of freedom of the soul,
which during the long hours of their solitude
can rise to You to know You better
and love You more each day.

Amen.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
make us love Thee more and more!
Our Lady of Hope, pray for us!
Saint Dismas, the Good Thief, pray for us!
