OH! CATHOLIC CHURCH
PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA I AM BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN TO ME. I
NEED TO HEAR YOUR WORDS OF COMPASSION
TO ME TO HELP ME BEGIN
TO HEAL FROM MY ENDLESS PAIN AND SORROW.
THE ABUSE I SUFFERED
WHILE I WAS PLACED INTO YOUR CARE WAS AWFUL AND STRIPPED MY
HEART AND SOUL BARE.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THE ABUSE THAT YOU HAVE DONE SO THAT I CAN
HEAL FROM THE MEMORIES THAT
WERE SO CRUEL DURING
MY YEARS SPENT WITH YOU IN NAZARETH HOUSE HOMES.
I AM ASKING YOU FOR
A PERSONAL APOLOGY FROM YOU FOR THE ABUSE I HAD TO ENDURE IN THESE APPALLING
CATHOLIC
RUN HOMES. YOU TREAT
ME WITH THE UTMOST CONTEMPT DENYING ALL THE WORDS YOU HAVE HEARD FROM US
THE SURVIVORS WHO YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE CONTINUING TO MAKE OUR HEARTS
BLEED AND OH! SO SORE.
THIS IS MY PLEA TO YOU
I WILL EVEN GO DOWN ON BENDED KNEE OR WHATEVER IT WILL TAKE TO HEAR YOU
UTTER WE DID MAKE MISTAKES AND TO SAY I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE ABUSE YOU ALL ENDURED.
PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEARTS
TO HEAR THIS MY PLEA AND LET
US ALL START TO HEAL FROM OUR
HORRID MEMORIES WE HAVE OF YOU THAT
CONTINUE TO HAUNT US THROUGH AND THROUGH KEEPING US FEELING BLUE.
