O God, comfort of all who suffer, your words and deeds show a special love for the poor and vulnerable. Instill within our hearts the same compassion you showed to those who were poor, hungry, sick, and dying. Fill our hearts with zeal to change the unjust structures of our society so that all women, men and children may flourish. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. (Matthew 25:35)
