Taking Action
 

"God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and rebukes those who turn away from them. It is by what they have done for the poor that Jesus Christ will recognise his chosen ones."
Catechism of the Catholic Church

FAITH

Prayers of intercession

Let us pray for the Church
in the world: that it may
fulfil its call to work in
the service of people
who are poor, bringing
compassion and hope
to those in need.
Lord, in your mercy...
For our government:
that it may listen to
us and take action
to improve conditions
for people who are poor,
so that all may live life
to the full.
Lord, in your mercy…
For a world transformed:
that people living in poverty may find
hope for a better future, as we take
action in solidarity with them.
Lord, in your mercy…
For our parish community:
that we may be inspired to continue
to work together in answer to God’s
call and to make a real difference
to the lives of people who are poor.
Lord, in your mercy…

CAMPAIGN




Support the Robin Hood Tax
A tiny tax on bankers that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, here and abroad. This tax on financial institutions – not you or I – has the power to raise hundreds of billions every year. It could give a vital boost to health care, our schools – as well as tackling poverty and climate change around the world. Visit the website to see how you can join the Merry Band of supporters.
