On December 10th, International Human
Rights Day, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, Associates, and
Ministry Collaborators participated in a day of prayer and fasting for
creation, connecting climate change to the global threat to human rights. The day of prayer and fasting was sponsored
by the Congregational JPIC Office who prepared a resource guide for
participants and encouraged them to donate the money saved by fasting to the
congregational office in their country in order to support a project for environmental
justice. More: http://saccvi.blogspot.com/2015/12/human-rights-day.html
PRAYER: Creator God,
it is you who have made us all and you who gather us to form one family. We are
each so differently gifted and our lives celebrate many cultures and
traditions, and yet we are one. Open our ears to hear your call to live in
solidarity, to form one body, one family.
Open our eyes to see the dignity of all your creation. Open our hearts to respond with compassion and
strength to defend the human rights of all.
Amen
