Santo patrono de Abogados de los Pobres

Lord Jesus, Carpenter and King, supreme Sovereign of all humanity, gaze with compassion upon the vast numbers today who suffer from the shame of injustice everywhere. Raise up leaders across nations who are committed to Your principles of order, fairness, and justice. Bestow upon us, Lord Jesus, the grace to become worthy parts of Your Mystical Body, tirelessly working to answer our calling in the social mission of Your Church. Sharpen our minds to overcome the narrowness of prejudice and to recognize the beauty of authentic human brotherhood. Direct our thoughts toward a meaningful comprehension of the struggles faced by the poor, the oppressed, the unemployed, and all who need help anywhere. Steer our hearts away from the tempting pull of worldly possessions and undue admiration for those who have them. May we always yearn for justice.
