We are not called to be mere passive observers

Just a few thoughts

·       No one beyond reach

Loving God, Open our ears to hear the cries of our sisters and brothers and of the earth, our common home.

Open our eyes to the scandal of poverty and injustice in the world.

Open our hearts to feel the pain, the hurt, the hunger of one another.

Open our mouths to speak of the dignity of each person, precious in your sight.

Open our arms wide to reach out with compassion so that all distance vanishes.

Open our hearts to share your love and our hope of a world where no one is beyond reach.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
