4th of July Minute Meditation - Catholics for Democracy

Cry of the Poor

"How can it be that even today there are still people dying of hunger? Condemned to illiteracy? Lacking the most basic medical care? Without a roof over their heads? . . .

"Christians must learn to make their act of faith in Christ by discerning His voice in the cry for help that rises from this world of poverty."
Pope John Paul II
Novo Millennio Ineunte, no. 50

4th of July Minute Meditation

Item submitted by Unregistered on Sun 4 Jul 2004 - 16:24 h

Here's a quick prayer for Indpendence Day from the Franciscans at AmericanCatholic.org. Celebrating Liberty

We pray to you, Author of Liberty,
For peace as we work for justice,
For justice as we work for peace,
So that there may be
Liberty for all.
Amen.
