Please pray for a family with four young children who just discovered their 7-year-old daughter has been sexually molested by a "friend." They have had a very long week of depositions and doctor's appointments. This dear family does much to serve Our Lord and they are devastated. Please pray for healing for them all and for them to be able to forgive, which must be nearly unimaginable right now. And, as hard as it is, please pray for the molester who is also in need of much mercy and grace. 
Oh, Sweet Lord Jesus, please hold this family tight in Your arms. Help them to heal in all ways. Send Your Holy Spirit to minister to them in their time of need, devastation, doubt, anger and whatever else they may be feeling. Help them to know, Dear Lord, that You have never abandoned them and never will. Mother Mary, pray for them all, who are your children. Angels and saints, pray for them.

Thank you, Jill, and all those who are praying who haven't replied.
Does anyone know of a ministry within the Church to help families in this crisis?

Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Holy God
Holy Mighty One
Holy Immortal One
Have Mercy on us and on the whole world.
The prayer I have for this family.
Rich

May Our Lady, Untier of Knots, come to your assistance.
Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted with great humility the Holy Will of the Father and the legacy of your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Evil never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then you have interceded for all of our difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us example on how to untangle the knots in our complicated lives. By being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that unites us to Our Lord. Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands this family granting wisdom to the parents, the molester, and especially the child, and deliver us from the chains and confusions that have us restrained. Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all things, have Him in our hearts and serve him always in our brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us . Amen
