?God loves you and there?s nothing you can do about it,? Auxiliary Bishop emeritus Roger Gries told a group of incarcerated men and women during the annual Christmas liturgy at the Cuyahoga County Jail on Dec. 14.

About 75 prisoners, corrections officers and jail ministry volunteers participated in the special Mass celebrated by Bishop Gries.

He told the group that God is always with every one of us, ?even when we feel all alone -- and you can feel very lonely in a place like this, even though there are a couple thousand people here.?

The bishop said God has a way of planning things.
