# Novena for Women Impacted by Human Trafficking: Day 3

Jan 26, 2014 5:00:26 AM  |  by [Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/sarah-reinhard)

*This week, Teresa Tomeo mentioned on her radio show that human trafficking is expected to triple during the Super Bowl. There's not much I can do about that, but I can pray. Will you join me? Let's pray together for the victims of human trafficking and for those who most need our prayers.*

## Novena Prayer to [Saint Maria Goretti](http://www.mariagoretti.org/mariabio.htm)

Child of God,  
 You who at an early age knew life’s harshness and toil,  
 its sorrows and brief joys;  
 You who were poor, an orphan,  
 who loved your neighbour tirelessly,  
 making yourself a humble and attentive servant;  
 You who were kind and good, without pride,  
 who loved Love above all else;  
 You who shed your blood so as not to betray the Lord;  
 You who forgave your assassin wishing him in Paradise;  
 Intercede and pray for us to the Father,  
 so that we may consent to his holy will for us.  
 You who are God’s friend and see him face-to-face  
 obtain the grace we are seeking from you…  
***For all the victims of human trafficking and for those who most need our prayers.***  
 We thank you Maria, for the love of God and neighbour that you have sown in our hearts. Amen.
