Something for each of us to consider after such devastatingly sad and upsetting news of the Pennsylvania Report on clergy sexual abuse and misconduct: How am I called to make reparation?
God really is inviting you personally to some concrete response of love in the face of such evil.
"Where you do not find love, put love, and there you will find love." - St. John of the Cross
Consider praying the Chaplet of Reparation or getting a group together to pray the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet and offer in reparation for the sins of priests and lay people who committed these terrible crimes. Perhaps a regular Rosary prayer group could come of this for you. Perhaps you could approach your Pastor and agree to take the lead in establish perpetual adoration at your Parish. (Click here to learn more about going about establish adoration at your Parish and consider having one of the Missionaries of the Most Holy Eucharist come to preach a mission to launch perpetual adoration.)
Doesn't Jesus deserve our love? What response of love does He deserve from you? What will you offer Him?
What concrete step will you make in your life to "repair the breach"?
(prayers are available for free online elsewhere; just google search it if you're interested!)
