Aust - Royal Commission

[BarbTherese]

The Australian government is forming a Royal Commission in Australia re sexual abuse of children and it will probably have a very large focus on The Catholic Church in Australia and specifically probably the very many reported cases of the sexual abuse of children by clergy and how our heirarchy handled these reports.

Saint Joseph, patron of the universal Church, watch over the Church as carefully as you watched over Jesus, help protect it and guide it as you did with your adopted son, Jesus, and please pray also for the victims of childhood sexual abuse and the perpetrators - and also for our heirarchy and all the baptized. May The Father's Holy Will be done in all things. Amen
