Human Trafficking “ …constitutes a shocking offense against human
dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights.
In particular, the sexual exploitation of women and children
is a particularly repugnant aspect of this trade, and must be recognized
as an intrinsic violation of human dignity and human rights.”
~ Pope John Paul II

Loving Father,
We seek your divine protection for all who are exploited and enslaved. For those forced into labor, trafficked into sexual slavery, and denied freedom.
We beseech you to release them from their chains. Grant them protection, safety, and empowerment. Restore their dignity and provide to them a new beginning.
Show us how we might end exploitation by addressing its causes. Help us reach out in support of victims and survivors of human trafficking. Make us instruments of your spirit for their liberation.
For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. (Author Unknown)
