A Lifeline for Prisoners

 What exactly should I pray for when I want to pray for prisoners?

Justice and fairness in the legal system.

Family support and unity.

Protection and safety while incarcerated.

Hope for a better future.

Healing and restoration.

Transformation and a relationship with Jesus.

Peace in times of turmoil.

Wisdom and guidance for both the inmate and their family.



St. Leonard of Noblac (d. 559).
St. Leonard was converted to Christianity at Christmas 496, and went on to serve in the court of Clovis I. As a disciple of St. Remigius, Bishop of Reims, Leonard was granted the prerogative to visit prisons and free anyone held there. He secured the release of a number of prisoners (for whom he has become a patron saint).
