Written to offer hope to strengthen others, Cardinal Pell wrote three pages a day during his 13 months in prison. These pages became three published books referred to as Cardinal Pell’s prison journals:
Prison Journal, Volume 1 — George Cardinal Pell, George Weigel
Prison Journal, Volume 2: The State Court Rejects the Appeal — George Cardinal Pell
Prison Journal: The High Court Frees an Innocent Man (Volume 3) — George Cardinal Pell
His simple message, as he puts it, is that “the Christian package works,” especially regarding giving purpose and meaning to suffering, even tremendous suffering.
