This morning as I was listening to the Passion of our Lord, I could not help but be reminded of the young girls and women, victims of human trafficking, our BA Globe Changers heard tell their story this past Friday at the Polaris Workshop. "They began to spit on him (her). They blindfolded him (her) and struck him (her) ... they bound him(her), led him(her) away and handed him(her) over... "
"What evil has Jesus (she) done?"
"They only shouted the louder... they mocked him (her) and stripped him (her) and led him (her) out to crucify him (her)"
"Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani!" ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!")NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING HOTLINE:
1-888-3737-888
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah (50:7) provides us with our hope:
"The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced. I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame." The Word of the Lord.
