Should Have Been the Last Execution Ever

For God sent not His son into theWorld to condemn the World, but that the World through Him might be saved. John 3:17


Lord Jesus, for our sake you were condemned as a criminal:Visit our jails and prisons with your pity and judgment.Remember all prisoners, and bring the guilty to repentanceand amendment of life according to your will, and give them hope for their future. When any are held unjustly, bring them release; forgive us, and teach us to improve our justice.Remember those who work in these institutions; keep them humane and compassionate; and save them from becoming brutal or callous. And since what we do for those in prison,O Lord, we do for you, constrain us to improve their lot. All this we ask for your mercy's sake. Amen.
