Prayer for the Oppressed

Look with pity, O heavenly Father, upon the people in this
land who live with injustice, terror, disease, and death as
their constant companions.  Have mercy upon us.  Help us to
eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbors.  Strengthen those
who spend their lives establishing equal protection of the law
and equal opportunities for all.  And grant that every one of
us may enjoy a fair portion of the riches of this land; through
Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
