Help us to Love Men
God, our Father
In Jesus, your Son,
You have welcomed all men
As your children.
He became a brother and a friend to all,
Especially the poor
And the dispossessed.
Look upon the many men and women,
Everywhere in the world,
Who are despised;
Look at the many
Who are forced to live
In ways unworthy of man.
We pray to you ,Father of all men,
Deliver the world from the evil of selfishness
And violence.
Help us to love men
As you love them:
Unconditionally and without limits.
Hear our prayer
Through Jesus Christ, your Son,
Our Lord and God,
Who lives and reigns with you
In the unity of the Holy Spirit
Forever and ever
Amen.
John Paul II, Germany, June 23, 1996 |
Prayer for the Homeless
Lord, no one is a stranger to You and no
one is ever far from Your loving care. In Your kindness watch over
refugees, exiles, and the homeless, those separated from their loved
ones, young people who are lost, and those who have left or run away
from home. Protect those who are without shelter and on the streets.
Bring them back safely to the place where they long to be. Help us
always to show Your kindness to strangers and to those in need. Amen
