Melbert will be executed for the killings of his former girlfriend and her niece.

Let's pray for him and the victims.

It is easy to pray for those we love but so hard to pray for these people who commit such crimes, but we do pray for them and ask mercy while not daring to approve of their sin!

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

Denise, you said it so well. And yes, we do pray for them, for our Jesus does not wish to lose even one soul.
