“Love must act as light must shine and fire must burn.”

And so now we stand on yet another plateau of new beginning and possibility. As we look to our future, we know that we are not alone. We know that you walk with us in support and love as you always have. This is what the bonds of love and friendship look like. This is why we are the Community of Divine love that includes all of us – our friends, Oblates who associate themselves with CDL, and our Divine Companions who live a life committed to a spiritual Rule of Life while in prison. This is community living with purpose and vision as we all do our part to further the Kingdom of God here on earth.
