Whatever the human justice reasons were that brought us into prison as defendants or as condemned persons, every one of us has made mistakes, done something nasty to someone else during his or her own life…
That this ordeal of incarceration and doubt may be, following the example of Jesus, beset by doubt and anguish in the Garden of Olives, a time for each of us to look back on ourselves, a moment of realization of true values, a period of conversion and resurrection…
Who can know God’s plan?
No meeting is gratuitous.
That the risen Jesus, after having known arrest, judgment, condemnation and death on a cross by the will of men, may turn us into true workers for God’s true justice, true peacemakers and true witnesses to the love of God.
