Help Us Build Communities in God's Vision of Justice

En Español

Holy Spirit,

We praise and thank you!

You anoint us to

bring glad tidings to the poor

proclaim liberty to captives

recover sight for the blind

free the oppressed

and build communities in keeping

with God's vision of justice.

Show us how to be

light of the world

salt of the earth

seeds that sprout love

and leaven that infuses humanity

with the desire to promote

human dignity and solidarity.

Help us to listen so that

those in poverty can lead our efforts to

proclaim a more hopeful vision

liberate captives from injustice

heal the blindness of the powerful

free us all from self-centeredness

and build community to overcome poverty.

Amen.
