A Prayer for the end of human trafficking

A Prayer for the End of Human Trafficking,As shared by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, N.J.

God of freedom, beauty and truthwe believe that your deepest desire,your most powerful energy, is that all creation might know abundant life.

 We raise our voices in anguished prayerfor our sisters and brothers,women and girls, men and boys,who are modern day slaves;They are your beloved daughters and sons,exploited sexually or forced to workbecause of human violence and greed.

 Fill us with your holy anger and your sacred passionthat those who are trafficked might know healing and justice;that traffickers will come to repentance and conversion;that all of us might live in such a waythat others are not made to pay the pricefor our comfort and convenience.

 Hasten the coming of the day when all peopleand our precious Earth itselfwill be treated, not as a commodity,but as radiant images of your freedom, beauty and truth.Amen. May it be so.
