World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

Reflection

“Let us not look the other way. There is greater complicity than we think.” –Pope Francis

Prayer

Liberating God,

Today we raise our voices with others around the globe calling for an end to human trafficking. We are united by an unflinching desire to see sisters and brothers freed from all forms of modern enslavement and by our commitment to change the systemic conditions that continue to fuel this injustice. Help us not to look the other way or think this only a problem somewhere else and far away, for it is sadly all too near. Near or far, it insults the dignity we all share as children before you. And so in our communities, neighborhoods, country, and world, lead us to be agents of change who strive to protect all those who are vulnerable. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time to review the efforts our ministry has taken to fight human trafficking. Consider my own involvement in this cause. Recommit to some form of support today.
