The Charity of Christ Compels Us... 2 Corinthians 5:14
Our Mother of Sorrow's
you wept as your Son's Body
was wounded and scarred.
Together with you,
we grieve alongside children and adults
who are victims of sexual abuse.
We lament the trust that has been betrayed
and the wounds of body, mind, and soul
that they suffer.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
we bring our sorrow, anger,
confusion, and disbelief
to the altar of your Son, Jesus.
Pray for us as we seek the Holy Spirit's
transforming love and guidance
to purify the Church
and to heal all who suffer with these wounds.
