Today, You Will be With Me in Paradise: An Introduction to Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry

"A person who was on death row, dying on the cross, discovered Christ. And in discovering Christ, he discovers his true self. A conversation took place. 'Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.' And Our Lord turns to him and says, 'Today, you will be with Me in Paradise.' He has a name. He has an identity. He's part of our church family. He enters into Paradise. In the prison, possibly we are dealing with broken icons, icons that need to be restored. And through this ministry, there is the beginning of that restoration." -Fr.
