For Those Who Have Suffered
in the Care of the Church
As Pope Francis recently concluded his “penitential pilgrimage” to Canada, let us pray for all of those who have suffered injustices, abuse, discrimination, or rejection by the Church. With God’s grace may they find a home again within a worshipping community where their suffering can be transformed to a healing peace by the love and compassion they receive. We pray that the Holy Father’s words and witness in Canada will be a reminder that no one is exempt from seeking reconciliation.
The world in which we live is filled with sufferings that cause anxiety, but let us invoke Saint Joseph and we shall be protected; in all our trials let us go to Joseph. (Meditations)
