PRAYER FOR RESOLUTION #3: Let Us Eliminate Violence and Discrimination Against Women.

Dear Lord,

We pray for all touched by the evil of violence:

For the victim survivors;

For children who have experienced or witnessed violence;

For the family and friends of those abused;

For those who could have intervened but did not;

For the abusers;

For those lost to violence.

Please let them know that You, God, are with them at all times, even in their darkest hours.

Give the women of WUCWO the opportunity and courage to be educated and to educate about this issue, to know the resources available, and the path to follow to help those in situations of violence, and the courage to act.

Guide all Your children to cultures of peace where the dignity of each person is respected. Where cultural or legislative change is required, grant us to collaborate and work to achieve this change.

Please give all women the strength, wisdom, compassion, and grace to know and bring Your message of love and hope to our families, our communities, our countries, and our world.

We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady, Queen of Peace.

Amen.
