I read a story about a priest who, as part of his ministry, regularly visited those in prison. One prisoner in particular impressed him. The man had found Jesus while incarcerated, and was reborn - he radiated joy and love, and had a calm demeanor about him. He shared about how he had been transformed from within, and how he had found a lasting peace. The priest, although he was a decent man, had not found salvation and walked away thinking, ”that prisoner is more free than I am”. True story…read it decades ago. Wish I could remember the source; certainly made an impression on me.
