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 your 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.

1.   2026 Missionary Cooperation Program: Deacon Todd Church of the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico (USA), has shared information on how we can join hands to support the evangelization efforts of the Diocese of Gallup. Please support their mission. Thank you.

2.      ADA: To St Peters Parishioners the 2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) is underway. Our Goal for the year is $50,583.00, the average for each family is $425.00. We at St. Peters VCC will make our goal but we need all parishioners to participate. A lot of this money goes to fund the Priest retirement and insurance, and also fund the 18 seminarians we currently have studying to be Priest. St Peters VCC does not give up we will make our goal. If you have any questions please feel free to talk with me or if you need help filling out a pledge card see Kelly or myself. The cards are in back of the Church. Thank you. St Peters VCC parish has 8 families that have contributed $41,610.00 through gifts and pledges to the goal of $50,583. Which is a good start, and $8,973.00 remains to reach our goal. St Peters VCC needs your help. Thank you.
