Heavenly Father,In every age, you have been our refuge. We stand before you asking for your protection on your holy Church.
For the victims of abuse and their families,pour out your healing and your peace. For the Bishops and Clergy of this country,continue to inspire their decisions,and guide
them with your Spirit.
For the faithful who are angry and searching for answers,,restore their trust,console them with your Gospel message,and renew them with your sacraments.
We place our Church in your hands,
May Jesus, our High Priest continue to lead her in every thought and action –to be an instrument of justice,
a source of consolation,a sacrament of uniity.
Grant this through Jesus Christ, our Lord,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, forever and ever. Amen.
