I've prayed that he is an open book to God Almighty and that he has truly repented in sincerity and truth.
That he may approach his death with confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you guys. I feel disturbed that this poor man’s simple request might be tuned down. All he wants is for someone to be able to touch him and pray for him as he’s dying. That doesn’t sound like too hard of a request.

It's easy to judge people who do those things like commit murder. But they pretty much lose their humanity entirely in the face of the rest of humanity. They are considered so low after that and it's pretty sad especially when they do regret it.

Let us remember for example our father among the saints, the holy Abba Moses the Strong, who was himself a murderer and robber before his conversion and monastic vows. There is no reason to think that what God accepted of St. Moses' repentance in the 4th century could not be a comfort for a man in similar circumstances now.

Through the prayers of our Father, St. Moses the Strong, Lord comfort and forgive this man all of his sins which he has brought before You in true repentance. Lord have mercy.

I pray that God accept John Henry Ramirez into His kingdom with open arms regardless of what the prison decides. Mr. Ramirez sounds like someone who has truly repented after doing something horrible.

If that was me on death row, it would be the last thing I'd be fighting for. Unforeseen consequences that by ensuring that every other death row inmate gets to pick their own spiritual advisor. I'm not dying knowing there's a 1 in a million chance that down the road two other people are in that chamber with devilish thoughts of causing harm. I would not want to be that landmark legal decision that allowed that.
