Prayer for the Poor - Traditional

Lord Jesus, You identified with the poor and needy.
Open our hearts to our brothers and sisters in need.
Help us to see Your face in those who are hungry,
homeless, lonely, and forgotten.
Give us generous hearts to share what we have,
and wisdom to work for lasting change.
Bless all who serve the poor,
and grant dignity and hope to all who suffer.
Amen.
