Please have mercy on ordinary people and help them to make ends meet.
Holy Spirit, you alone can guide our thoughts and motives in the right direction to bring your justice to this world.
Please have mercy on us for our selfishness and help us to make this world a better place for the poor.
Father God, we want the hungry to be fed, we want the suffering to be comforted, we want those harmed by wars, beaten down by natural disasters or crushed under the heel of our desire for luxury to experience your blessing.
Please have mercy on this, your world. Use us, your children, to make it a better place and give strength to all the organisations trying to care for the poor.
