Second Chance

Seeking shelter
Evening storm
Curate welcomes
Offers home
Nutrition, warmth
Darkness falls


Candlesticks are stolen
Hooked by police
Accused stands
No theft, but gift
Compassionate bishop declares
Exonerates in God's name

Prompt 4, Acrostic Only

You may recognize the story here -"The Bishop's Candlesticks'  from Les Miserables. Its the first thing that struck me when I saw this prompt.
