«A Father's Prayer»
How difficult is the prayer of the fathers! it is rare, poor... For fathers, a glance upwards, a held sigh, an accentuated wrinkle is often enough. But fathers also pray, ask, wait, and the prayer is above all for others: for their children, first of all, for the loved ones at home, for their woman who is not just a mother.
To be the first to say what a father asks, Lord, I stand next to Giuseppe and take the measurements. I too, father, would like to learn to recognize the faint traces of angels; to believe the Word brought by the announcement; to hold it tight, just to obey.
Lord, even fathers know desolation, like Joseph, when he thought of sending Mary back and endured it, because he trusted her and you visited his sleep to bring him comfort.
Give me the faith of Joseph, Lord, and visit even my troubled sleep. It also brings me the courage not to fear life, but to welcome everything that comes from you.
Saint Joseph, stay close to me. And, with you, the Virgin Mother. Amen.

«Prayer from prison»
Crucified Lord, look at us, we are those like you. Condemned. On the gallows and behind the bars of shame. Even awaiting execution, by poison, by rope around the neck, by firing squad or electric chair. This is enough for you: like you, nailed to the cross. Unlike you, we are more often guilty, even if there is no shortage of innocent people among us. Friend, if you knew the immense mystery of detention, where I am! If I saw and heard what I see within these dark walls. And I think bitterly of my loved ones, who unjustly suffer because of me. «I know the devil that was inside me, I was linked to Evil, my life was one of violence. But since I met the Lord, nothing has managed to make me commit an act of violence: in these 14 years on death row, Jesus, with his forgiveness, has entered my heart! If you decide that you must kill me, do so based only on the brutality of my crime, but please do not base me on me as a future risk to society, because I have changed now... I love you all, I hope my death brings you peace , once again I ask forgiveness from the families I have affected, now I go to meet Jesus, I wait for you all in Heaven, He has already prepared a place for me."

Prayer for children without family
«Hello Jesus! Here we are in front of you, no one is missing. We are children without families. In the sense that ours is unknown to us, absent, broken, due to drama or desperation, due to loneliness or abandonment. We witness pain and loss, but also the miracle that can always happen when someone ﹣ a man and a woman﹣he gathers us to hold us close to his chest, like fragrant bread that has just come out of the oven. Without saying: "Who is this?". We are without family and difficulty is our daily grace; for some it is also the surprise of a couple who bends over our fragility to make us experience what is good and true in their life, without asking for anything in return, as a pure gesture of love that brings nothing except emotion to learn to call ourselves children.
We are Christmas every day and whoever bends over this manger in Bethlehem gets up with a different look, capable of welcoming the destiny of another."
