Prayer for Social Justice (by Pope Pius XII)
Almighty and eternal God, may your grace enkindle in all persons
a love of the many unfortunate people who poverty and
misery reduce to a condition of life unworthy of human beings.
Arouse in the hearts of those who call you Father, a hunger
and thirst for social justice and for charity in deeds and in
truth. Grant, O Lord, peace in our days, peace to souls, peace
to our community and peace among nations. Amen.
