Thank you for the beautiful Calendar. The guy who lives in the cell with me is Muslim. But, he is very open-minded. He told me that witnessing my dedication to Jesus and Mary, and learning the Bible has left a profound impression on him. He is seriously thinking about becoming Catholic. I taught him to pray the Rosary and we spend much time studying the Scriptures. It is very humbling to see Our Lord use us to do such important work. Lord, lift us up and give us strength to do Your work! < Ernesto - TX > 12 I am looking at one of your Dedicated Decades of Spring 2015 and I ask myself, “How could anyone not wish to belong to such a beautiful Church?” I am new to the Faith and am Baptized but not yet Confirmed. Once I got locked up in prison, I started to hear God calling me back to the Church. When I looked at the picture on your magazine, I felt God’s Love radiating from it. < Jose - TX > Thank you for the wonderful materials you sent me. I have learned so many prayers and feel my faith is becoming stronger. A volunteer comes in every Tuesday and we have a prayer meeting. The priest has not been here for over six months. We have not had the Sacraments for that long a time. The chaplain is Southern Baptist. We prayed to Our Blessed Mother for help and it happened that someone brought your information to us. You were an answer to prayer and you have been such a big help to us. < Antonio - FL > I am an inmate and was confined almost 13 months ago. I am in need of spiritual growth. I have no Rosary or help with devotions to the Mother of God. Do you have any prayer card or pamphlets that will help me in my new life in the Catholic Church? Please help! I know I cannot do this alone and am looking for any and all spiritual guidance. My patron Saint is St. Michael the Archangel. Thank you! < Gordon - FL > Thank you for the Rosary and Scapular. They would not allow me to keep the Rosary but I was able to send it to my parents. I worry about my mom and my children. There is much drama in our lives because of the terrible things I did and everything is sinking deeper. Even I am sinking. I have hope; I pray every day but I sink. I am a two-train wreck; there is no one to talk to in prison, no real friends. We have no counselors. The priest comes seldom. I need help. The environment around me is full of bad things: tattooing, drugs, porn, etc. I want to change. Forgive me for “venting” but I really want to change and have no one to talk to. I talk to Jesus a lot but I usually get silence. My mother has cancer, my dad suffers with diabetes and had a heart attack. I truly admire them. Would you send something to them? I am sorry to ask this favor. Tell them that I love them, if you can. < John - TX > Enclosed are a few names of inmates who would like to sign up for a Decade, so they can be soldiers fighting behind enemy lines for the sake of Christ and Mary to save souls! Loneliness is a big part of our suffering here. There are so many people who live in darkness. I suffer not to be able to enlighten them about our Faith. Nothing we receive is meant for us to keep; we are told to share our light with the world. Prayer is a powerful way to do this. < Wayne - TX > I received an exceptional Rosary from your organization a few years ago. When we moved to new barracks, I was not allowed to have it back. I was transferred to a new holding tank
