CANDLE OF ATONEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lord, forgive us our many sins.<\/p>\n

We grieve and repent with all our hearts for having offended you, for our great failings and neglect of the young and vulnerable.<\/p>\n

We place all of those who have been hurt by the Church in any way into your loving hands and under the protection of Our Blessed Mother.<\/p>\n

Lord, bring peace to their broken lives and show us all the way out of darkness and into the light of your Word.<\/p>\n

May we as the people of God be more fully human, more fully Christ-like and more fully your people, that we may see the errors of the past and go forward with renewed hope and faith in Christ and in our Church.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
