We live in a World with unprecedented wealth and resources yet 50,000 people die every day as a result of extreme poverty. The gap between rich and poor is getting wider. The poor do not ask for charity but for justice and a fair opportunity. Let us join our voices in solidarity to say, no more excuses - end poverty now.
God of Justice, help us to stand up and speak out against poverty. Help us to fight against poverty and inequality and to seek ways to make a difference through our words and actions.
Amen
