Hope you don't mind if I post the following Novena. I got it at Mass tonight.
A Novena to the Holy Spirit
Ascention of the Lord to Pentecost
Almighty and merciful God,
by the power of the Holy Spirit
you raised Jesus Christ, your Son, from death
and filled him with a new and abundant life.Then, in accordance with your loving plan,
you sent the Holy Spirit upon the disciples at Pentecost,
that by His mighty gifts they might be joined
to the Risen Lord in His Body, the Church,
By a fresh outpouring of the Spirit's gifts
give new life to the Church in Boston this Pentecost.We beg that the Spirit will bring healing
to the victims of clergy sexual abuse and their families.
We pray that the Spirit will warm the hearts
of those whose faith has been weakened by this scandal.
We ask that the Spirit will bestow mercy and
repentance on the abusers.
We earnestly desire that the Spirit will renew and reform
the whole Church in the likeness of Christ.
Fill every member of the Church with holiness so that,
working together as the Body of Christ, we might be
built up in faith, hope and love in order to proclaim
the Gospel with joy.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
This evil is a wound to all of us, victims and faithful, but it is "in our face" all day, everyday, here in Boston. It is impossible to get away from it unless you don't look at the newspapers, turn on the TV or radio and don't go to work (or, if you do, don't talk to anyone).
Thanks for the Novena prayer.
