The following prayer was shared with us after the release of Ralph Martin\u2019s letter <\/em>Dear Troubled Catholics.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

By Susan Domen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father, we praise you!\u00a0You are goodness and love, you are holy and perfect!<\/p>\n

We come to you, Father, with heavy hearts, looking to You in Your infinite mercy, to console us in our grief, send clarity where there is confusion, repentance where there is sin, obedience where there is obstinance, truth where there is silence, and love where there is indifference.<\/p>\n

Help us to fast and pray in reparation for our sins and for those who have led astray and compromised the faith of so many.\u00a0Have mercy on us, look upon us as harassed and lost, as like sheep without a shepherd.<\/p>\n

Father, we beg You, send Your Holy Spirit to breathe upon us, to renew; to make holy, beautiful and most pure,\u00a0the Church, the bride of your beloved Son, Jesus.\u00a0Holy Spirit, fall upon the most hardened hearts, as well as those of the faithful and devout. Fill them with the fire of Your love.\u00a0Grant them holy boldness to speak truth in the face of corruption and intimidation.\u00a0Let them not be silent, let them stand together in unity, in confidence that truth and goodness will prevail and the gates of Hell will not stand against the pressing in of the Holy Ones, the body of the Church, Christ’s Bride, to be made pure, holy, and undefiled.<\/p>\n

Father, we come to You in our littleness, looking for comfort, looking for justice, looking for answers.\u00a0We know You are most merciful, thank You for hearing our prayer.\u00a0You are able to bring goodness through even the darkest of days, all in accordance with your divine will.\u00a0We pray this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, one with You, through the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n
