In a world
where so many go hungry,
Let
us make the fruits of creation available to all.
In
a world
where a billion
of our brothers and
 sisters
do
not have safe drinking water,
Let us help
water run
clear.
In a
world
where so many die so young,
And
so many mothers die in childbirth,
And
so many families are ravaged by disease,
Let us bring health and healing.
In a world
where women carry heavy burdens,
Let us recognize
and
restore the
rights of all.
Let
us join together, with a sense of global community,
A
new awareness of our need for one another
And
for this fragile planet.
To meet
the
clear
challenge of the Millennium Goals,
To bring along hope
as
substantial
as bread,
To make human dignity as visible as
wheat
in the
fields.
Amen. |
