Prayer for Social Justice Lyrics

Lord Jesus,
Carpenter And King,
Supreme Sovereign Of All Men,
Look With Tender Mercy
Upon The Multitudes Of Our Day
Who Bear The Indignities
Of Injustice Everywhere.

Raise Up Leaders In Every Land
Dedicated To Your Standards Of Order,
Equity, And Justice.

Grant Unto Us, Lord Jesus,
The Grace To Be Worthy Members
Of Your Mystical Body,
Laboring Unceasingly
To Fulfill Our Vocation
In The Social Apostolate
Of Your Church.

Sharpen Our Intellects To Pierce
The Pettiness Of Prejudice;
To Perceive The Beauty Of True
Human Brotherhood.

Guide Our Minds To A Meaningful
Understanding Of The Problems
Of The Poor, Of The Oppressed,
Of The Unemployed,
Of All In Need
Of Assistance Anywhere.

Guide Our Hearts
Against The Subtle
Lure Of Earthly
Things And Undue Regard
For Those Who Possess Them.

May We Hunger And Thirst
After Justice Always.

Amen.
