Culture of Life focus: Extreme Poverty

Prayer intentions:

  • For those two billion brothers and sisters who are “energy poor”, and who lack clean water, adequate food, decent homes, decent sanitation, and work opportunities that would allow them to develop and provide basic needs.
  • For those who have no access to even a minimal level of medical care.
  • For children who want to grow and learn, but who lack opportunities for education.
  • For we who live with an abundance of food, clean water, decent homes, work opportunities and energy, that we would not deny these blessings to the poor as we pursue a greater care for creation.

For reflection:  what choices can we make in solidarity with those whose lives are threatened by extreme poverty?
