8th.Feb.2015. Feast of St. Josephine Bakhita
World day of Prayer, reflection and action against
human trafficking
23 World Day of Sick.
11/02/2015
Theme: “ I was eyes to the blind ,and feet to the lame.”
( Job 29:15)
Please find below the prayer to be recited on Feb. 8, the International Day of Prayer and Reflection against
Human Trafficking:
“O God, when we hear of children and adults
deceived and taken to unknown places for
purposes of sexual exploitation, forced labor, and
organ ‘harvesting’, our hearts are saddened and
our spirits angry that their dignity and rights are
ignored through threats, lies, and force.
We cry out against the evil practice of this modern
slavery, and pray with St. Bakhita for it to end.
Give us wisdom and courage to reach out and
stand with those whose bodies, hearts and spirits
have been so wounded, so that together we may
make real your promises to fill these sisters and
brothers with a love that is tender and good.
Send the exploiters away empty-handed to be
converted from this wickedness, and help us all to
claim the freedom that is your gift to your
children. Amen.”
My dear Community of Toukley and Lake Munmorah.
Our call to discipleship deepens with pointers for our faith
journey
The first reading details Job’s attitude in striking contrast:
Job complains of the tedium and futility of life and the miseries of human existence. But eventually Job surrenders
himself, his suffering, his work and everything he had had
and had lost to the greater wisdom of God (Job 42:1-6).
The second reading presents Paul as a true and dynamic
follower of Jesus, ready to do something extra for his Lord
by preaching the Gospel without recompense. today’s Gospel teaches us that true discipleship means getting involved
in giving selfless service to others. But it’s important to go
off "to a deserted place" to pray, in order to recharge our
spiritual batteries.
