Every day, every month , every year, thousands of people cross the city roads Aiud ... some remain , some are just passing through ; each run to work, to shop, walk, or trip to church ... and life flows smoothly , sometimes tumultuous. Out of the house and are used to riding this reality in which we live .
Either way , few people are aware that in addition to the normal and ordinary lifes of Aiud another reality harsh and bleak coexist at the same time .
On April 9, 2014 , during the Easter holidays, along with Rescue Humanitarian Foundation and a group of young people from Good News Church Aiud I had the opportunity to go into this another grim reality of our city, Aiud Penitentiary on we passed countless times. On that day, with heart close , we passed the prison gate, knowing that we did not go to visit, but went as people of the Kingdom of God in order to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in front of people, young trapped in devil. I saw there young beautiful as we are , some with smiling faces , others frowning ... young people eager to hear the Word of God ... some singing with us , others answered yes to what they heard , others remain indifferent.
In front of them , I lived an amalgam of feelings and states : from curiosity, wonder, love, mercy toinmates. I looked in the eyes of some, and still could not understand that these people belonging to a reality that I am a foreigner. I tried to sit between them ... and I saw a picture sublime ... Christ Himself came in such a grim reality in which man became a slave , bound in chains of sin , deprived of freedom of a life rich with God , cheated with cheap substitutes , and not only felt pity , but with tears in her eyes and acted grabbed ... stretched a hand , then the other , and both hands stretched between heaven and earth , prayed for guilty , died for them , among which I am and young inmates. The reality of God has entered human reality and overcome it, what can happen in this other reality Aiudului.
With hope
