My mind has wandered onto the subject of prison ministry. In my past, I have had a priest who was deeply involved with going to a state prison each month and tending to the ministerial needs of convicted felons, those who had committed serious crimes. I never questioned that need, although I could see my priest under significant stress from all of the “charitable work” he volunteered himself to do. He made it seem so hard being a true Christian, simply because his candle always seemed to be burning at more than the two ends.
