He has been outstanding for advocating for convicted criminal wronng-doers in prison -- not justifying or covering up, not naive about the challenges, but showing the way to people who are still very much "not there yet," people who are very much "on the way", through Jesus who said "I am the WAY, the Truth and the Life."
He has been a source of help for the FAMILIES of men in prison, especially their childen.
He has been an outstanding spokesman for pro-life and pro-family values.
He is an intellectual who can think complex things through deeply, and then express truths in a manner a 12-year-old child could understand. A rare and super-valuable gift!
He has been a moving force in the Manhattan Declaration group (pro-Natural Law, pro-family) and a tremendous ally to Catholics in the public square.
Does it look like I love this guy? I DO!
Dear Lord, my good Lord, I beg You to give Chuck Colson health and strength for many years to come. Please bring about His full recovery, and deepen his awareness of his dependence on only You. Amen.
Amen and AMEN!!
Are there any updates on his condition today?
Dear Manhattan Declaration friends:
I am writing to request prayer for our friend Chuck Colson who is recovering from surgery over the weekend. Chuck was speaking on Friday night at the annual Wilberforce Conference in Washington when he became ill and was taken to the hospital. On Saturday morning he underwent three hours of surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood from between his brain and skull. The doctors who did the surgery were encouraged by the results of the procedure. He remains in recovery in critical condition and is undergoing further tests. We should know more about his long term prognosis later this week. In the meantime, please pray for Chucks healing, and also for his wife Patty and others who attend him at this time. Read the formal press release here.
Timothy George
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THANKS THANKS
AND THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE RESPONDED AND PRAYED.
Ditto everything you wrote. With God’s grace, he so totally turned his life around. God bless him!
