Prayer for Social Justice
Pope Pius XII
Almighty and eternal God,
may your grace enkindle in all persons
a love of 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 God
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 to our community
and peace among nations.
Amen
