With my brother bishops across the nation, I suggest dedicating days of intensified prayer and fasting. The intentions for this period of prayer and sacrifice are three-fold:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0For the healing and support of all victims of clergy sexual abuse.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0For the conversion and just punishment of the perpetrators and concealers of sexual abuse.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0For the strength of the bishops to be holy shepherds in protecting and leading our sheep from all harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you feel called to do so, you are welcome to join me in prayer for these intentions. I would also be grateful for any prayers for me and my brother bishops during our general assembly, that we may follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in responding to the tragedy of clergy sexual abuse in the Church.<\/p>\n<p>Please be assured of my prayers for you, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours in Christ,<\/p>\n<p>Most Reverend Daniel R.
