At S.Maria CV I offered Pandora to the prisoners

A really nice gesture that made today. In fact, for the Christmas holidays I allowed myself to give each of the inmates of the district house of S. Maria CV a pandoro

The pandori were handed over to the chaplain of the prison Father Clemente, current parish priest of the Church of San Vitaliano in S. Maria CV.

"I took the liberty of making this gesture to stay close to all those people who are re-educating their conduct and staying away from their families during this Christmas period"

What I do should not be a praise but a simple gesture that each of us must make towards the weakest both in the coming Christmas period and always, as our teacher Jesus teaches us in the Gospel.

PRAYER OF THE PRISON

Sir, I'm in prison. I have sinned against heaven and against earth. I am not worthy to turn my gaze upon You, but You have mercy on me.

You, innocent among sinners, have been imprisoned for my fault.

Instead of freeing you, I was a means to make Your prison harder than mine, in order that You would be sentenced to death.

Lord, look at me and save me, help me: I think I have offended You. Unfortunately I was wrong. My weakness has closed me within four walls. I would like to return to freedom, but now it is not possible. I don't know when I'll be back. it's hard to think about this.

But if I think I have done so much wrong, it is also right that I do penance. But please Lord, relieve my suffering, and I pray you, if you can, serve me a few years in prison.

So many bad thoughts torment me, but then, if I think of you who have forgiven all your crucifixes, even though I am innocent, I am ashamed, and I thank you that I am still alive. Help me, Lord, to make a beautiful Confession, so that, washed my spirit, this weight that I feel on my chest will decrease.

Do, I pray you, that I may turn my thoughts to the afterlife where we must all meet at Your eternal judgment. And then, for the sufferings experienced in this prisoner, you have to forgive me, and embrace you with all your chosen ones in Heaven.

O Holy Virgin, give me the strength not to get agitated and to stay away from the temptations of the devil, from impurities and a thirst for revenge.

I beg you, my Mother, to protect my family for all that time that I am far away, and to stay close to me on the days when discouragement assails me. My God, have mercy on me.
