Human Trafficking Prayer Service

Maria Elisa Peralta

We begin with...

To the creator of nature and human persons, of truth and

beauty I pray:

Hear my voice,For it is the voice of the victims of all wars and

violence among individuals and nations;

Hear my voice,For it is the voice of all

children who suffer and will suffer when people put their

faith in weapons and war;

Hear my voice,When I beg you to instil into

the hearts of all human

beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and

the joy of fellowship;

Hear my voice,And grant insight and

strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice,to need with the sharing of

self, to war with peace.

O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your

everlasting peace.

Amen

Beautiful Slave- Take No Glory

I don't know where I am they've taken all that I had

smuggled in for a lucrative trade

beaten, barteredbroken in, until I obeyI used to be childlike

innocent and safenow I'm someone else's

treasurea strangers pleasuresmothered in shame

succumbed with drugsbut I'm not numball I feel is pain

is this all a dreamwill I ever be the same?

Can anyone hear me?Will anyone break these

chains?Who will free me?I'm just a beautiful

slave.

My worst fear is my fateI'm getting older each dayevery girl too old in years

mysteriously just disappears

They never mention her name

They take away piece by piece

I don't think I have any leftI've slowly given up all

hopegiven in to this sleepless

bedinside these barsI feel so seared

by each new faceHow could this ever be.

Every memory be erased?

Can anyone hear me?

Will anyone break these

chains?Who will free

me?from this dark

place?Does God see

me?What is His

name?Will He help me?

I'm just a beautiful slave

He can hear youHe's seeking you,

He wants to heal youJesus knows the real you

Prayer for the Poor. By Mother Teresa

Who is Jesus to me? Jesus is the Word made Flesh. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Victim offered for our sins

on the Cross. Jesus is the Sacrifice at Holy Mass for

the sins of the world and mine. Jesus is the Word - to be spoken. Jesus is the Truth - to be told. Jesus is the Way - to be walked. Jesus is the Light - to be lit. Jesus is the Life - to be loved. Jesus is the Joy - to be shared.Jesus is the Sacrifice - to be given. Jesus is the Bread of Life - to be eaten. Jesus is the Hungry - to be fed. Jesus is the Thirsty - to be satiated. Jesus is the Naked - to be clothed Jesus is the Homeless - to be taken in.

Jesus is the Sick - to be healed. Jesus is the Lonely - to be loved. Jesus is the Unwanted - to be

wanted. Jesus is the Leper - to wash his

wounds. Jesus is the Beggar - to give him a

smile. Jesus is the Drunkard - to listen to

him. Jesus is the Little One - to

embrace him. Jesus is the Dumb - to speak to

him. Jesus is the Crippled - to walk with

him. Jesus is the Drug Addict - to

befriend him. Jesus is the Prostitute - to remove

from danger and befriend her. Jesus is the Prisoner - to be

visited. Jesus is the Old - to be served. To

me Jesus is my God, Jesus is my

Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only

Love, Jesus is my All in All, Jesus is my Everything. Amen.

We end with..

The sign of the cross.

In the name of the Father, the Son and The holy Spirit.

Amen
