Prayer for Healing Victims of Abuse God of endless love, Ever caring, ever strong, Always present, always just; You gave your only Son To save us by the blood of his cross.
Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace. Join to your own suffering The pain of all who have been hurt In body, mind and spirit By those who betrayed the trust placed in them.
Hear the cries of our brothers and sisters Who have been gravely harmed, And the cries of those who love them. Soothe their restless hearts with hope, Steady their shaken spirits with faith. Grant them justice for their cause, Enlightened by their truth.
Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, Heal your people's wounds And transform brokenness into wholeness. Grant us the courage and wisdom, Humility and grace, to act with justice. Breathe wisdom into our prayers and labors. Grant that all harmed by abuse may find peace in justice. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

greatest of all days in our liturgical calendar. Easter is one of the central holidays, or Holy Days, of Christianity. It honors the Resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of devoted prayer, fasting, and penitence. At the Easter Vigil in the Holy Night, which is our “ultimate” liturgy of the entire year, we start by surrounding a fire that is already burning as we arrive to rep-resent how the Light of Christ has returned after his crucifixion. We listen to our salvation history through the multiple Scripture readings and ultimately to the Gospel of the Resurrection. Then the focus of the vigil takes place, the initiation of new Christians through baptism, confirmation and holy Communion. This vigil is followed by the Masses of Easter Sunday where the faithful gather to give praise and thanks to God. For, it is through the Resurrection of Jesus that our resurrection is made possible. We see our fasting come to an end. The beauty of bright colors, flowers, water, the Paschal Candle burning brightly and joyous hymns mark the greatest of all days in our liturgical calendar. Along with the Nativity of Christ, Easter is one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar. It is when Christians glorify and give thanks for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. After His crucifixion, death, and burial, Christ rose from the grave three days later. By this, He conquered death and redeemed us from sin.
