For Those Mired in Crime

Mighty God, who spares us when we deserve punishment, and in your wrath remembers mercy;

I humbly implore you, of your goodness, to comfort and enlighten all who suffer in prison,

Deserved though their punishment may be.

Bring your light into their lives, O Lord, that they may know Your only Son and find repentance and forgiveness in his name,

leaving aside the guilt of past sins

And the yearning for the darkness within which they committed them. And trusting in your truth

And mercy, that they not place their hope anywhere except in the holiness,

Which only you can give them.  And awaken all criminals, whether convicted or free, to the light of conscience and self-knowledge, that they may learn to serve you and their fellow man, and so find their place at your side  when they leave this earth. In Christ’s name I beseech you on their behalf.

Amen
