WE PRAY For those imprisoned by grief and fear As a result of the actions of other. For those imprisoned in gaol and cell As a result of their own actions; and For those who can find no other life than in The never-ending imprisonment of violence and crime. Jesus said: ‘come to me all who are weary and carry heavy burdens.’ Give to those who are wearied by imprisonment the Courage to change; and to those who Carry the burden of another’s imprisonment, An abiding hope, so that we and all your children may be free. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Please pray for: Anna O’Donnell who died recently.
