Well, this is pretty darn cool.

On Christmas Eve and with no prompting from prison staff, and with no pastors visiting, the inmates in Genesee County Jail in Michigan all joined together to recite the Lord's Prayer.

Here's more from Breitbart:

The clip shows the men, most of whom are wearing orange jumpsuits, standing next to each other and holding hands. At one point, a man in the middle of the group appears to lead them in the Lord's Prayer, according to the video posted by the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.

'I've NEVER posted a jail surveillance video like this one. Last night on Christmas Eve, inmates on one of the biggest pods came together on their own. No direction. No prompting. They joined hands and quietly recited the Lord's Prayer,' Sheriff Christopher R. Swanson wrote in the caption.

Even in the midst of earthly troubles, Christ's promises shine through.
