"THE PRISON ANGEL"

November 1st and 2nd, we remember All Saints and All Souls - especially, our dear saint, Mother Antonia Brenner who died of heart failure at the age of 86. Known as The Prison Angel: Mother Antonia's Journey was from a "Paris Hilton" Beverly Hills socialite to a Life of Service in La Mesa, a rough, hardcore Mexican Jail. Mother Antonia was loved and visited by Mother Theresa of Calcutta, India. In turn, Mother Antonia loved and visited the Servants of the Father of Mercy, just days before her passing. Like Mother Theresa, she always lived and taught the "Message of Mercy." A year after her death, La Mesa prisoners attended a spontaneous 10pm spiritual session with a visiting nun. The only thing is, there was no visiting nun on record. All the other sisters were at their convent for evening prayer and bedtime.
