God of the long-term
Leader:We dare to imagine a world where hunger has no chance to show its face. Response:We dare to dream of a world where war and terror are afraid to leave their mark.
Leader:We long to believe in a world of hope unchained and lives unfettered. Response:We dare to share in the creation of a world where your people break free.
Leader:Dare we open our minds to difference? Dare we open our lives to change? All:Your Kingdom come, O Lord. Your will be done. Amen (Linda Jones, CAFOD)

If the hunger of others is not my own, If the anguish of my neighbour in all its forms touches me not, If the nakedness of my brother does not torment me, Then I have no reason to go to church and to live. Life is this: to love one’s neighbour as oneself. This is the commandment of God. Love means deeds, not good wishes. For this reason I commit myself to Working for the necessities of my brothers and sisters. Amen
