Prayer for Social Justice

Almighty and eternal God,
may your grace enkindle in all persons
a loveof the many unfortunate people
whom poverty and misery reduce
to a condition of life
unworthy of human beings.

Arouse in the hearts
of those who call you God
a hunger and thirst for social justice
and for fraternal charity
in deeds and in truth.

Grant, O Lord, peace in our days,
peace to souls, peace to our community
and peace among nations.

Amen.
