WHISTLEBLOWERS
God
of Innocents,
Please bless the Catholic
Whistleblowers,
a group of current and former priests, women religious,
brothers, deacons, and laypersons who actively support
survivors of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
They
have courageously taken up the effort
to track down and root out molesters from
the clergy.
You
know, Lord, that bishops and leaders
of religious orders, seeking to avoid exposure and
scandal, have moved child molesters from one parish
or school
or diocese to another, instead of reporting them
to the police.
Those
who molest children are criminals,
and religious entities which transfer
and hide them are complicit in their crimes.
Please
help these sinning predators,
and those who shield them, to face up to,
and atone for, their damaging criminal conduct.
Please,
moreover, give Your great, powerful assistance to
all the victims of this abuse.
Help them to regain mental stability, freedom from
psychological confusion and guilt,
clarity of conscience, and a new and healthy sexual
orientation. Bless them generously with Your strength,
and lead them to find normal companionship, happy
marriage and families, loving partners or compassionate
friends -- leaving behind nightmare memories
of their abused innocence.
God
of Children, God of Purity, God of Love, please
shower great blessings on the men
and women of the Catholic Whistleblowers
in their singular and courageous effort
to cleanse the Temple of the Lord,
and assuage the pain of innocent victims
of abuse.
All
this I pray, in the name of the innocents involved.
Amen
Catholic
