In our 1st reading today,
Revelation speaks of 7 plagues which God inflicts in his fury upon sinful
humanity (15:1).

Today, however, we’re praying
in repentance and for conversion and healing on account of a plague of another
kind, inflicted by clergy and other church workers upon innocent humanity,
especially children and youths.
Revelation today also speaks
of those who have won the victory over the beast (15:2). Victory over the beast of the Church’s
sins—which in truth means our sins too and not only those of “bad priests and
bishops”—has been won by the Lord, king of the nations (15:3). He alone is holy (15:4). But in his graciousness, he shares his
victory with all who come humbly to him.
May the Lord Christ purify
his Church, we pray, lead us all to conversion and to a deeper life with him,
and finally to a place with the saints around his throne.
