As Catholics, we recognize that prayer is of the utmost importance, an invaluable contribution to helping the poor overseas. We invite you to join us in bringing to Our Lord the following intentions and thanks.
God of the poor, we long to see your face.
You tell us, "Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."
May we recognize you in each of our brothers and sisters.
May our prayers and fasting unite us with those who hunger.
May we share of our blessings with those in need.
For farmers around the world who work to improve their harvests while practicing environmental stewardship, that they may earn a living from the produce of the land, we pray to the Lord.
For our community of faith, that we recognize the face of Christ in each of our brothers and sisters, and reach out to assist those in need, we pray to the Lord.
Amen.
