Lent Talks is a series of personal reflections inspired by an aspect of the story leading up to Easter. This year’s theme is the power of hospitality, based on Jesus’ encouragement in Matthew’s gospel to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger and look after the sick.

In this episode, the ex-gangster John Pridmore reflects on his troubling past as he considers the words, "I was in prison and you visited me".

Producer: Dan Tierney.
