Prayer for Protection:

Dear Lord, We ask You to bless these Your holy people who have participated in the Church’s efforts to help stop the abuse of those among us who are most vulnerable. In particular, bless those who work to protect our children from sexual abuse. Open their hearts to Your call to be the “ears, eyes and voice of children and young people and vulnerable adults” everywhere. Give them the vision and grace needed to fulfill the special commitments that each of them has made to making their homes, churches, schools, communities and world a safer place for all God’s Children. Amen
