Pedophilia Retribution: A Prayer

Heavenly Father, heal, with your loving grace, the hearts of the victims of terrible acts of pedophilia and let them not be flooded with hate, retribution, and revenge. Teach them, Jesus, the evil from that horrific act can spread down the years and spawn more evil and despair.

Let them see that there is little or no good in driving a diocese into bankruptcy and attacking people who had no part in that terrible crime committed against you, by taking money that parishioners had given for their parish to function, supply their spiritual needs, and do good works.

Someone once said, “A saint is someone who accepts an evil done to them and does not pass it on!”
