Please Note: all of the concerns and much of the language in this prayer is taken from the 1988 Encyclical of John Paul II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis (The Social Concerns of the Church).
Creator and Ground of our being, guide us to recognize our vocation as responsible builders of our earthly society, which your church teaches is marked by continuity and renewal. We are grateful for all your teachings and strive to respond to them with our hearts, heads and committed activity.
