Dear God,       
         You who hate injustice and love what is good. Save us, O Father, from this evil world and its cruelty. Protectus from the Evil One’s attacks against us. Guard us as he and his messengers whisper in our ears urging us to prey on those who are weak and helpless. Give us the power to defeat injustice and oppression through goodness and righteousness. Help us to light candles in the darkness that will dispel the evil in this world by small acts of service and courageous work for justice. Set the world right again, Lord, and use us to do it. We are your willing servants.
                            Amen

                                                                 from for they shall be fed
