Almighty and most loving God, through your son your compassion brought healing to many.
We ask for your healing for all who have been profoundly wounded by abuse, especially those who have been hurt by your ministers.
In your mercy, we also ask for forgiveness. Words cannot express fully the sorrow we have for the great harm done by those who were called to be trusted.
In your goodness, we ask for the grace to be a source of healing to all who have been abused and to be ever vigilant in protecting all your people.
Grant, we pray, our prayers for healing and forgiveness, for we ask them through your son,
Christ our Lord.
Amen.
