Four Years for a drug conviction? Excessive? Without knowing the details, that is excessive in my mind. Four years? I suspect Francisca Cabral is a poor woman, probably could not afford a good lawyer. Just lock them up, THAT’S THE LAW! In any event, while incarcerated this poor woman found the love of her life, Our Lady. God works in mysterious ways, does He not?
California Catholic Daily: “I felt like she took care of me today, like she hugged me,” said Cabral, who is from Koreatown and attends daily classes as part of an education and individual transformation program at the jail. “One of my dreams is to go to Mexico to the Basilica (of Our Lady) to see her … It’s always been a dream of mine. Seeing her here, instead of me going to it, made me know that I’m on the right path.”
Archbishop Gomez led the 82nd annual procession in Los Angeles to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thank God for the Mexicans!
“At a women’s jail in this largely immigrant Los Angeles suburb, inmate Francisca Cabral had been waiting for a sign to affirm she was on track to turn her life around.
The 26-year-old mother of three, who is serving a four-year sentence for a narcotics conviction, felt she received that sign on Nov. 17 with a visit from Our Lady of Guadalupe, a celebrated Mexican icon of the Virgin Mary for Roman Catholics. Her feast day is Dec. 12.” More on this here.
