Cardinal Blase Cupich reminds inmates at Cook County Jail that they are not forgotten

Inmates at the Cook County Jail attended a special Mass on Sunday morning led by Cardinal Blase Cupich, who reminded the men there is “goodness in each one of us” and that they are “not forgotten” on Christmas Day.

“Yes, you are away from your families. And maybe you think today that you’ve been forgotten, overlooked, disrespected,” Cupich said. “But that’s precisely why I come here today. We should never allow our lives to be reduced or have anybody reduce our life to the mistakes we make.”
