Great Mass. I enjoy [going to church], it makes me feel good after I go and during. I feel like God is really present there with me.

Her diary entries echo what her attorney, James J. Leonard, previously told E! News of his client. 

"She's taking care of her body, she's taking care of her mind...She's reprioritizing things in her life," he exclusively revealed to us in May. "I think she's going to emerge stronger, more focused. She's getting back in touch with her faith. She's spending a lot of time praying in there and I think the Teresa that comes out of prison is going to wow people."

Upon completion of her sentence, Teresa's husband of 15 years, Joe Giudice, 42, will serve 41 months in prison. Their sentences have been staggered so that one parent came remain at home with their four children, Gia Giudice, 13, Gabriela Giudice, 10, Milania Giudice, 8, and Audriana Giudice, 5
