We ask a blessing upon the homeless,
marginalized and underserved in our midst.
We remember our sisters and brothers—adults,
families, children– who are living with
no security, no shelter, and no safety from
the outside world.
Help us to provide extra warmth, peace and
opportunity for a better life. May we
supply nourishing food and drink that
their bodies may be nourished.
May we open our hearts and our hands to ease
their worries and provide hope where
there is no hope.
Through the giving of our time and our treasure,
may we demonstrate our love and pledge
that people on the street shall never be
forgotten.
May I offer compassion to those in need and
never miss an opportunity to work towards
ending poverty and homelessness so that no
one will live in want or in hunger.
