By our suffering might be their forgiveness From Slaveship to Championship 

Great God, head of the Universe, wlth peace, judgement and Justice you watch over the way of humanity, and in Iove you know each of us by name. Lift those who are put down by Poverty and engaged in the conflict, be It far or near in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, or the Americas. Remember the poor, the oppressed, the hungry, the Jobless:, the prisoners, the sick and the shut-In, the uneducated whose needs aren’t being heard. Prevent us from neglectlng their voices and help us te show love by working for the spirits of the ancestors. Prevent us from oppressing and make us do something to show helpful love.

Amen
