Prayer for Justice and Peace

Almighty and eternal God,

may Your grace enkindle in all of us a love for 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 Father 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 in families, peace to our country, and peace among nations.

Amen.
