Special Day of Prayer for Victims of Trafficking (St Josephine Bakhita)


08/02/2020

The Catholic Church designates February 8 as an annual day of prayer and awareness against human trafficking.

February 8 is the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who was kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery in Sudan and Italy.   Once Josephine was freed, she became a nun and dedicated her life to sharing her testament of deliverance from slavery and comforting the poor and suffering. She was declared a Saint in 2000.

On February 8, Catholics all over the world are encouraged to host or attend prayer services to create greater awareness about this phenomenon.

Here's a video (3:24) telling her life story.

 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

St. Josephine Bakhita, you were sold into slavery as a child

and endured untold hardship and suffering

but you found new hope in Jesus.

 

We pray that you assist all those who are trapped in a state of slavery;

Speak with God on their behalf so that

they will be released from their chains of captivity.

Those whom some humans enslave,

let others with God's strength set free.

Provide comfort to survivors of slavery
and let them look to you as an example of hope and faith.

Help all survivors find healing from their wounds.

 

We pray this in your Holy Name.

AMEN

Traditional date for the Feast of St David - patron saint of Wales


01/03/2020

Here's a video about St David (2:34).

 

Loving God,

we thank you for the example of St. David,

you chose to live a simple life,

and helped others whose lives were simple

not through choice but circumstances.

 

Help us to consider our choices

that we may live more simply

in order to make a big difference to others.

We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN

Loving God,

In Women's History Month,

we give thanks for all the cherished women in our lives and in our histories:

May women across the globe continue to be empowered, knowing the love you offer,

that a world of justice and peace be established.

We ask this in your Holy Name.

AMEN
