Dear Sir / Ma’am, I would like to take
this time to thank you for your kind
donation of Rosary / Scapular packets
as well as a selection of books you
sent for our prison Chapel program.
Without the consideration, time and
resources from your organization, we
would not be able to meet the ever
present demands for such valuable
materials for our Catholic inmates. May
God richly bless you and your continued
ministry! Sincerely, < Chaplain
Washington State Penitentiary > D
ear Patti, there are so many times
I want to fight back against evil, but
doing evil for evil is not the right thing
to do even if your violent response to
their evil might stop them. I let Christ
Jesus, my Lord, fight for me or comfort
me in those times and, thus, I can suffer
with Him. I have been in confinement
since July 14. Usually, they do not allow
me to have much of anything in my cell
during these lock-downs because they
consider me one of the top 24 most
dangerous inmates in the whole State
of Florida. Since joining the Living
Rosary, my life has changed so much.
Now, my status has been changed from
Maximum Security to close management!
The truth is that I did not
change due to their confinement and
harsh discipline. I actually changed
because your friendship came truly
from your heart with only the love of
Christ and His Mother, without any
expectation. Your words reached out to
me like those of a mother in the image
of Mary, and a friend and comforter in
the image of Christ. I pray that you are
safe. I am praying for those in Beirut.
This world is going through so much,
but I know God will save us. He hears
our prayers just as He heard those of
the children of Israel when they were in
Egypt. I am fascinated by the booklet,
The Great Heart of St. Joseph. I wish
there was a way I could learn more
about him so I could understand the
excellence of a life of silence and
obedience. With loving prayers,
< Tyrece - FL >
Thank you for the beautiful Rosary
and all the information. May the Lord
grant you many blessings in return! I
am currently at Macon State Prison.
This is a level-5 camp and it is very
dangerous at the moment. Just this
year, we have had 13 murders and over
75 stabbings. The correctional officers
don’t care. The administration has no
control over this facility. It is a very hard
time for the white race; we are the
minority. All I can do is to stay “prayed
up!” I have been able to have visits
from my family and they all want a
Rosary. Will you please send one for
me and my son? God bless you! < GA >
I am serving time in prison. I have
asked the chaplain for over a year now
for a Rosary, but he cannot get one.
Please could you help me with one?
God bless you! < Brandon - USA >
