The commonly held definition of abuse, which we use in all of our trainings,

and control over another.” One thing to note about that definition:
there is a pattern of behaviour, in other words, not just one incident.

For victims of abuse
For victims of abuse by priests and religious
in Ireland
We pray for those who have suffered harm from members
of the Church; may they find within the Church herself a concrete
response to their pain and suffering. [Prayer intention of Pope Francis]
