Prison Angel
I recently finished a book loaned to me entitled, "The Prison Angel: Mother Antonia's Journey from Beverly Hills to a Life of Service in a Mexican Jail". It was a very inspiring story of a twice divorced, mother of 7, who gave up a lavish Beverly Hills lifestyle to go live and work in a horrible prison in Tijuana, Mexico. The amount of caring and compassion this lady has for people is mind boggling. She decides to live in a cold, damp cell in the middle of a terrible prison, and gives so much of herself to the prisoners. Any injustice or suffering she encounters, she tries to help, both inside and outside of the prison. Truly an inspiration!
