“Be a love Bomb, Let it be
exploded, not to kill, But to heal the broken hearts.
This small sentence is the seed of Prison Ministry India. The tiny
seed of love, which had been sown through divine intervention in the
fertile soil of human hearts of few, has now grown into a large tree
providing cool and gentle shade to many who feel frustrated,
disappointed and broken spend in their lives in the dark cells of
prison. The specific goal of our new venture is to create a just
society, where all have equal opportunities for development and
growth, all have an equal share in the resources of the earth and
above all the worth and dignity of every individual human being is
respected and protected. Further it focuses its, attention on the
correction, reformation and rehabilitation of those in prison and
their families. In the first session Fr. Sathish Fernandes, VCT
director, motivated the participants on the values of Mahatma Gandhi
and screened the movie on Gandhi life. The resource person, kept the
audience in rapt attention for two and half hours. The seminar was
very holistic as it discussed about the various problems they face
today such as suicide, drug addiction, obsession with social media
and teenage crimes. Many practical solutions were proposed. At the
end of the talk several prisoners came up to the stage to express
their opinion and clarify doubts they had in mind.
