Prayer for Prisoners

Traditional Church prayer for the incarcerated — asking conversion, hope, and reintegration.

1 min read
Father in heaven, you watch over all your children. Look with mercy on those who are imprisoned (mention your request). Give them hope and courage in their darkness. Open their eyes to the truth and their hearts to your love. May they be healed from past wrongs and restored to wholeness. Bless their families. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

When to pray

On Prisoners' Sunday (third Sunday of November), during pastoral visits, or when interceding for those serving sentences.
