Prayer to End Human
Trafficking
Creator
of us all, our words cannot express
what
our minds can barely comprehend
and
our hearts feel when we hear of children
and
adults deceived and transported to unknown
places
for purposes of human greed.
Our
hearts are saddened and our spirits angry
that
their dignity and rights are
being
transgressed through threats, deception
and
force. We cry out against the
degrading
practice of trafficking
and
seek ways for it to end.
Strengthen
the fragile-spirited and
broken-hearted.
Make real your promises
to
fill these our sisters and brothers with a love
that
is tender and good and send the exploiters
away
empty-handed. Give us the wisdom
and
courage to stand in solidarity with them,
that
together we will find ways to the freedom
that
is your gift to all of us. Amen.
