Dear God,

Grant us the wisdom to seek more than simple answers,
to build meaningful connections beyond the surface,
and to find you in the depths of our hearts.
Inspire us with a passion for justice, a heart for equality,
and the courage to act against injustice, oppression,
and exploitation of your children.
Bless us with compassion for those enduring
suffering, rejection, hunger and conflict,
so we may extend our hands in comfort
and transform their sorrow into joy.
And endow us with the belief in our ability to enact change,
to accomplish what some may deem impossible,
and to make a positive impact in Your world.

Amen


"In prayer, God keeps calling us, opening our hearts to charity."

— Pope Francis
