Community ActivityOne of the Corporal Works of Mercy is to visit the imprisoned. Forgiveness is the gift of new beginnings! We are called as Christian brothers & sisters to remember that "people in prison are still people, made in the image and likeness of God. No matter what someone has done, they deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find the Truth of the message of Christ" (USCCB). Write a letter to a prisoner--tell a story about forgiveness, maybe something you have learned during the preparation process. Remind him/her you are praying for them!
(Bring this letter with you to retreat) |
