Easter blessings!


Recommended Posts

I missed going to midnight Mass this year.

I had to go into work on Easter Sunday. So I attended Mass in the jail.

The priest who said the Mass is from the next small town from where I live. The town has a very large Polish community. Every Sunday they have a Mass which is said in Polish.

While I don't know the Priest well, we do know each other to say hello and that sort of thing. He is a nice fellow.

I'd never been to a Mass in jail before.

It was a little strange being at a Mass where there were no women and all the inmates were wearing their brown uniforms.

I did offer up a prayer hoping that for the guys who were there it was the start of a new life.

After the service we provided coffee and cookies for everyone. This might not seem like a big deal to people on the "Outside" but for the inmates it was a real treat.

I was really taken by the number of them who came up and thanked me.

Of course I did mention to the priest that it was about time that his church started a Scouting unit!!
