"On Tuesday, December 10, 2013, Pope Francis will help launch a worldwide campaign to end hunger through prayer and action.
"At noon local time, a global wave of prayer will begin in Samoa and will
sweep across the world for 24 hours, covering over 164 countries."
Here is the prayer:
O God, you entrusted to us the fruits of all creation so that we might care for the earth and be nourished with its bounty.
You sent us your Son to share our very flesh and blood and
to teach us your Law of Love. Through His death and resurrection, we
have been formed into one human family.
Jesus showed great concern for those who had no food – even
transforming five loaves and two fish into a banquet that served five
thousand and many more.
We come before you, O God, conscious of our faults and
failures, but full of hope, to share food with all members in this
global family.
Through your wisdom, inspire leaders of government and of
business, as well as all the world’s citizens, to find just, and
charitable solutions to end hunger by assuring that all people enjoy the
right to food.
Thus we pray, O God, that when we present ourselves for
Divine Judgment, we can proclaim ourselves as “One Human Family” with
“Food for All”. AMEN.
