Prayer of Child Abuse Victim

Lord, thou heard my languish of heart-wrenching pain
I cried to heaven yet my cry was silenced 
Thou silence quietened cry of my pain
Ignored have I walked alone.
Oh God, I never stopped outcrying 
The more I kept quiet, the more it got louder
My outcry was louder than the measures put to silence it
I thought my heart is deaf or Thou are mumbling 
At last, Lord of the pain heard my outcry
Painful outcry overpowered the might cover-up
Lord, I thank you for divine intervention 
Yet again, you showed us on which side you stand
Continue to listen to the painful languish 
Bring justice to the little ones of the world.
 Amen



(Inspired by the letter written by the Pope as a response to the child abuse grand jury report)
