A Prayer for the Poor

Generous God, who owns everything and gives good gifts to your children, help me be generous like you. Compassionate One, who empathizes with those who suffer, help me feel the pain of those who have nothing. Source of Wisdom, help me navigate the many opportunities to get involved and follow your lead to where you would have me participate in fighting poverty. Help me say “no” to what you would have me bypass, and help me say “yes” to any and all opportunities that come from you. Amen.

貧窮人士禱文

天主聖言

我的弟兄們,若有人說自己有信德,卻沒有行為,有甚麼益處?難道這信德能救他嗎?假設有弟兄或姊妹赤身露體,且缺少日用糧,即使你們中有人給他們說:「你們平安去吧!穿得暖暖的,吃得飽飽的!」卻不給他們身體所必需的,有甚麼益處呢?信德也是這樣:若沒有行為,自身便是死的。(雅二5-6,14-17) 

祈禱文

主基督,你教導我們不但為自己,也要為其他兄弟姊妹的需要向天父祈求。求天父賜給我們,特別是貧窮的人生活的一切所需。願我們能抵抗丟棄和浪費的文化,樂於與其他兄弟姊妹分享我們的所有。
