The Diocese of Buffalo has begun a Special Year of Prayer for Healing of Victims of Clergy Sexual Abuse and for the Church. A purple candle will burn perpetually throughout the Year of Prayer before the statue of Saint Joseph in our cathedral. We will also have a candle lite in our church before our statue of Saint Joseph. Throughout the year each vicariate will host a time of prayer for healing. The following prayer is also asked to be prayed.

O Merciful Father, Your Son in Love stretched out His hands upon the cross to embrace us.
Embrace and heal our brothers and sisters who carry the wounds of abuse inflicted upon them.
Heal Your Church broken by this betrayal of trust.
Cleanse and sanctify Your clergy that they may radiate the selfless love of Your Son.
And strengthen and call the people of the Church throughout Western New York
to a new dawn of hope and grace in your Holy Spirit.
We ask this through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
