DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
We will continue our look at the Catholic Social Teachings. Today we look at the Catholic Social teaching of the option for the poor and vulnerable. Throughout the Bible, we hear how we are to help those who are poor and vulnerable in our society. We are asked to help, in any small way, those who are struggling and hungry.
Loving God,
May we always
remember that by serving
the women, men
and children
most vulnerable
to poverty and injustice,
we are loving
and serving you.
Give us the
wisdom to see the structures
which create and
perpetuate poverty
and the passion
to make a change.
Help us to help,
in whatever
small way we can,
the poor in our
community.
Through Christ
our Lord.
Amen
