Day of Prayer for Victims of Abuse
Lord, forgive us our many sins.
We grieve and repent with all our hearts for having offended you,
for our great failings and neglect of the young and vulnerable.
We place all of those who have been hurt by the Church in any
way into your loving hands and under the protection of Our
Blessed Mother.
Lord, bring peace to their broken lives and show us all the way
out of darkness and into the light of your Word.
May we as the people of God be more fully human, more fully
Christ-like and more fully your people, that we may see the errors
of the past and go forward with renewed hope and faith in Christ
and in our Church. Amen.
