When Pope Francis celebrates the Eucharist in Matera on Sunday, the hosts that will become the Body of Christ will have been produced by prison inmates involved in an initiative called “The Bread of Hope.”
The initiative is promoted by the Inspectorate of Prison Chaplains of Italy and comes to life thanks to the support of Foundations and Cooperatives that operate within detention facilities.“The Bread produced within the prison walls, and which will become the Body of Christ on the altar, intends to be a voice of Hope addressed to all the ecclesial communities and the civil world," says Don Raffaele Grimaldi, Inspector general of chaplains in Italian prisons.
The hosts that will feed the participants of the Eucharistic Congress also symbolize the inmates' spiritual sharing with their sisters and brothers who will participate in the great Liturgical Assembly of the Italian Church in Matera.It is a significant gesture, Don Grimaldi says, that celebrates God's love and mercy and relaunches Prison Pastoral care.
It is a way, he adds, to promote restorative justice that also passes through the mediation of gestures of responsibility.
