It’s sometimes so easy to forget about those who are incarcerated…especially those who are serving life sentences or sitting on Death Row. We say, “Justice has been served” or “They got what they asked for” or “TWe can’t help them anymore.” But, what did Jesus say? It is quite challenging and very counter-cultural. Join Deacon Jeff and Fra Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe in Lourdes, France as they welcome their guests, Collins Whitfield and Mike McGarry, Knights of Malta who are involved with prison ministry, to the show.
