Prayer for those suffering from abuse

Dear God,
we ask you to help all those who suffer from abuse.
Help them find healing and peace in their life.
May Maria Goretti
who was strengthened by Your Grace
join with us in prayer for healing of all victims of abuse,
particularly those abused as children or young adults.
Grant us your Love that we might reach out to them
in Your Name with hope in times of trial.
As Maria prayed for her attacker,
grant us the grace to pray for the true conversion of all involved with the abuse: that they might seek Your Mercy through prayer and penance.
Loving God,
pour into our hearts and lives your healing Spirit,
that the sacredness of every human person
might be respected and protected
as the precious image of God.
Help us to live in the peace which Maria Goretti had found in Christ and in the love of his mother Mary.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

 

Child's Prayer for Those Hurt by Others

Loving Father,
you love us
and you give us life
and ask us to love each other.
The Saints remind us how to act.
Please keep all your children safe.
When a child is hurt by someone,
help them find safety and hope.
We ask this in the name of Jesus.
Amen
