Psalm 1: 1a, 2a, 3a
Happy
are they whose delight
is in the law of the Lord. They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing
fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither
“Lead us
by Christ's love,
& by the example
of Elizabeth Fry,
to serve all those
to whom the world offers no comfort
and little help.”
Pray for those who work in prisons
and for all who are in prison. Pray
also for the end to for-profit prisons
in our country which make a profit off of human frailty and misery.
“The essence of Fry’s work was the conviction that all prisoners, male
& female , are fellow human beings
& ...that treatment must not contribute
to the the degradation of inmates..."
