DEATH WATCH

Manuel writes on November 1, 2012, that he will be executed by the State of Florida on December 11, 2012, after twenty-seven years on Death Row in Florida. He will have one hour to kiss his daughter and family, and after that can be seen through glass only. On Death Watch, he has been moved to Florida State Prison, where Florida executes its inmates. Manuel thanks me and Desert Prison Ministry supporters for the book he has been reading this month, The Desert Fathers by Helen Waddell. In the last month, Manuel has been giving strong consideration to becoming a Benedictine Oblate. Please pray for Manuel, a good Catholic man who accepts his guilt and punishment, and ask others to pray for him. Manuel is regularly visited by volunteer Catholic Chaplain Dale Recinella (Now I Walk on Death Row) and a retired Catholic bishop.
