Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)

Let us pray: Our Father in Heaven, we come before you today to ask for your mercy and protection. We pray that you bless all those in our world who are suffering from injustice, who are discriminated because of their race, color or religion and for who were punished and tortured because they continue to work against oppression. Forgive us Lord for thinking for ourselves alone and disregarding the sad conditions of our brothers and sisters. Show us Lord on how we can help and serve.  Let your hands guide our hands in working for justice and peace dear Father. Amen.
