Lord our God, you have placed everything in our hands: love, peace, the future of the world.
For your trust that hopes for us, praise be to you!
For the earth to be human, every person must have his or her daily bread.
For the ways of sharing that you propose to us, praise be to you!
For a world to be human, deadly conflicts must end.
For your peace that disarms hearts, praise be to you!
For a world to be humane, justice must be embodied in structures
that reduce the gap between rich and poor.
For your solidarity that awaits us, praise be to you!
For a world to be human, violence and hatred must be banished.
For your weakness that sows love without exclusion, praise be to you!
