Most inner cities see levels of organized crime and gang violence, some are worse than others, however no matter how bad the violence is innocent people suffer. So take time to pray for those that are disillusioned and those they exploit to find peace.
Anyone can fall through the crack of society and no matter how far someone has turned to a criminal life, there is always chance of retribution.
"Oh father, shed your light upon those who have fallen far into darkness and those that suffer because of them. Show them the light lord, bring them hope and reveal to them that there is a way out of their problems, that they can indeed be forgiven for their sins. Amen."
