I hope everyone reading will recommend it heartily to whoever you know in prison ministry! What is banned for Michael's group might still be possible in other places. I think it's a beautiful gesture. Please find another ministry and share these unused letters!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014835247707585902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849039810061411241.post-71618992111103885362013-07-15T22:21:29.210-04:002013-07-15T22:21:29.210-04:00Faith:

Your reference to palanca instantly brought back so many powerful memories of that experience. <br /><br />Yes, indeed, palanca belongs in prison. <br /><br />Your brothers behind the bars are blessed to have so regularly in their midst.<br /><br />Michael Seagriffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776200452901461059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849039810061411241.post-23142281132783221722013-07-15T21:43:15.502-04:002013-07-15T21:43:15.502-04:00These notes remind me of Cursillo in prison.

Even one soul converted is worth more than all the wealth of this world. Deprivation of hope leads to the "I've got nothing to lose," attitude. Then a person can and will do anything because he has nothing to live for.Barb Schoenebergerhttp://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
