In this fifth episode in a 6-part series, Father Harry Dean and Deacon Ronnie Lastovica share their experience of bringing the physical body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist to those in the prison system. In this episode, our hosts discussed bringing the Eucharist into prisons, where the presence of evil can often be seen. Specifically, Father Harry and Deacon Ronnie spoke about the Blessed Sacrament being reposed in a specific men’s prison, the visible sense of protection by the Eucharist in prison dorm and cell blocks, and how sharing the Eucharist is a true bringing of the Light into the darkness of the prison system.
