THE power of real Christian faith in a person is that it motivates the believer in Jesus of Nazareth and his words to take action to help the downtrodden, to protect, empower, strengthen and enlighten the weak, to stand with the sexually abused children, to support the needy, and to work for justice. That faith, empowered by the belief that goodness, the love of justice, service to the poor, and care for the needy will overcome and defeat evil and wrongdoing, will bring healing and justice to the victims of sexual abuse.
While all good Christians oppose the crimes against children, they may feel helpless about how they should respond and find the correct action to bring an end to the abuse and find healing for the child victims. This is where Christian communities must stand together and find a strong, united voice rooted in the Gospel condemning the abuse of children.
Those pains and anger had been held deep inside, suppressed out of fear and the lack of anyone to trust, tell and share the terrible experience. Many live in silence with the memory of rape.The victims fear the retaliation or unbelief that would result if they spoke about being raped by their father, brother, another relative or neighbor. The most secret of all is when one is raped and sexually abused by a priest, teacher or other powerful person in the community.
