Day 6 @PrisonsWeek
A day in prison can feel like a week! Chaplains are at the centre of it.
🙏 for those who serve their God in prison. For inter faith relationships. For those who are discerning the call to serve God in this way.

Day 5 @PrisonsWeek
Many in prison are fearful to be released into the community, not having enough support for the transition.
So today please 🙏 for our Probation service and all organisations who seek to support prison leavers.

Day 4 @PrisonsWeek
I have been a victim of a crime. At times it makes me feel alone.
So today 🙏 for victims of crime. For their support networks who support them through their trauma. May they know that God sees them and loves them.

@Prisons Week day 3. Prisons are not the cushy places they are busy, hectic, complex and at times intimidating
So 🙏 for those who are alone and afraid of the community they are in today to bring his compassion.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 (𝟭𝟯 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟵 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰)
Every year we partner with our friends at Prisons Week to share Scripture and to pray for the needs of all those affected by prisons. We invite you to join us.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿
'Lord, you offer freedom to all people. We pray for those in prison. Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support, with your love, prisoners and their families and friends, prison staff and all who care. Heal those who have been wounded by the actions of others, especially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ in his strength and in his Spirit, now and every day. Amen.'

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 (𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲)
'God and Heavenly Father, please show us how we can give freely and willingly of what we possess, including our time, to serve and support those you love and care about connected with the prison system – prisoners, their families, victims of crime and those who serve in prisons as officers, chaplains and in many other ways. Always remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, that “it is more blessed to give than to receive”. Amen.'

Day 1 @PrisonsWeek In the Gospel today Jesus says no one is good but God. All sin but the sins of those in prisons are much more public than others. 🙏 those who are affected by them: victims, families, prison workers.

It’s that time of year! A plea for any #priest colleagues who can offer a weekday mass during this years #PrisonsWeek please. Prisons and those affected by them should not be out of our sight or mind. Reconciliation is the heart of the gospel. #pray #prisons #churchofengland

@RevRichardColes I was very fortunate to have that view out of the vicarage at Holy Trinity Abergavenny for 2 and a half years.

@ClergySupportUK @hmpps Thank you for the continued help you give me. Being a single person and in prison chaplaincy things for the last few years have been super super tight. You have made it that bit easier allowing me to having a short break away these last 2 years. #thankyou
