A CHILD’S PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY
Holy Mary, Mother of God, I beg you
And your beloved husband, Saint Joseph,
Just as you once cradled the Child Jesus
Safely in your loving arms,
Please protect me, God’s precious child,
From men and women
Who prey upon my helplessness and trust,
Destroying my faith, my hope, my love,
My very life.
Amen.

Dear Eileen,
Last summer you wrote me to tell me about your family and the shame of abuse.
Thank you for the little prayer which I will translate into German. May be all be
helped through these terrible sufferings to never silence again such evil. May God
bless your family!

Dear Eileen,
Thanks so much for the Christmas greeting and letter, with the encouraging and
uplifting report about your tremendous ministry of prayerful defense of the
defenseless. May the Lord bless you, Eileen, especially in this season when the
Christ Child is foremost in our thoughts as the prototype of loveable and helpless
children.

Dear Eileen,
I want to thank you for the letter you sent on the issue of child sexual abuse and
your family's horrific story. I commend your courage and strength in the face of
this terrible evil, and I send you my deepest sympathy. Your family has had more
than its share of burdens to bear. And yet, you have found the faith and goodness
to transmute your sorrow into helping others.
You and your husband, Jim, as graduates of Marquette and the College of the Holy
Cross, both outstanding Jesuit institutions, have truly exemplified our tenet of
living as "men and women for others." I pray that such work will protect children
now and in the future from suffering as your family so sadly has.
I will consult with our chaplains here at Holy Cross about what we may do to
support these goals. These are certainly concerns that we have shared for a very
long time. I appreciate your contacting me and sharing with me what must be the
most painful, heartbreaking story a parent can tell.
I will keep you, Jim, Kathy,
and your entire family in my prayers.
May God bless you and comfort you, now and always.
Sincerely,
Michael C. McFarland, S.J.

The Holy Family has heard their heart-breaking cries and has given us their answer, the beautiful CHILD’S PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY.
Thousands of people are already saying the prayer, but ALL of us are being asked. As Father John Hampsch, a Claretian missionary priest and the former adviser on religion to PBS told me when I showed him the prayer, “Eileen, that prayer is not meant for you alone. It belongs to everyone. We must all pray for the safety, health and well-being of children.”
When you speak to Pope Benedict XVI please ask him to honor the wish of the Holy Family. He knows how desperately the world needs this powerful prayer and understands the pain caused by the child sexual abuse cover-up practiced by some members of the hierarchy.
As St. Paul said, “We must fight evil with good.”
The Holy Family will richly bless you for your efforts to help spread their powerful prayer without the world.

| GOOD IS STRONGER THAN EVIL If you like to sleep at night, it may be wisest that you read no further, but if you can handle the truth, no matter how horrific, read on. Tragically four of our six children were sexually abused as toddlers by men and women who belonged to a pedophile ring that operated in New York City and on Long Island, New York. The children were threatened that if they mentioned the abuse to anyone, all the members of their family would be killed, so, of course, the horrific details were suppressed. Ten years ago our eldest daughter began to suffer episodes of paralysis of speech and movement. She was examined at the Pittsburgh Neurological Hospital. The doctors could find no evidence of a neurological problem, so they concluded that it had to be something psychological and recommended psychological therapy. After several months of therapy, our daughter began to recall the abuse. The abusers took all the children on our block who were under the age of two. One of the pedophiles was a world- renowned pediatrician who knew that a child’s memory is not fully formed until the age of two. As a result of the abuse our second daughter suffered from border-line personality disorder for the next 33 years of her life. She hid the disorder behind a delightful wit and sense of humor, a wonderful knack for making friends, and outstanding athletic ability. The damage she suffered from the abuse finally took its toll. Two days before she died she told me, “I still don’t know who I am and what I am to do with my life.” What a tragic waste of a beautiful life. Now for the good part. Two weeks after her death, I awoke in the middle of the night with a beautiful prayer on my lips. I got out of bed, wrote the prayer down, showed it to many of our close friends and family members, but had no idea what more I could do with the prayer. The following summer I met a Claretian missionary priest who told me that prayer was a gift and that I must “get it out to the world.” Nine years later, it’s happening. Thousands of people around the world are saying, A CHILD’S PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY Please join your voice with theirs and ask the Holy Family to protect all God’s precious children. The world’s abused children thank you for your love and prayers. To learn more, go to www.thoushaltnotabuse.org |
