Father John Farao: 我最初进入监狱事工并非出于自愿,而是上级的安排。在服务过程中,我逐渐认识到,尽管这些囚犯犯下了严重的罪行,但他们仍然是人,需要关怀和精神上的支持。我看到许多人因为童年时期的创伤和缺乏家庭关爱而走上歧途。通过信仰的力量和团体的支持,他们开始反思自己的过去,寻求宽恕,并努力改变自己的生活。我主持的性虐待幸存者支持小组,帮助许多人打破沉默,面对过去的阴影,重新找回生活的方向。尽管监狱的环境充满挑战,但我相信上帝的爱可以触及到每个人,即使是最黑暗的灵魂也能找到希望和救赎。我亲眼见证了许多囚犯通过信仰的力量,与家人重建联系,并为自己的未来而努力。这种转变不仅改变了他们自己,也影响了他们的家庭和社会。
