Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Lord of Wisdom, awaken us to our duty to care for the basic needs of all people. Strengthen with hope people denied their human rights and freedoms. Provide us all with the voice to cry out for justice for the poor and the oppressed. Amen

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
