for those who need

Many are the needs of those around us; few are our resources; 

great is the generosity of God, and so we pray:

For those who go to bed hungry -

    that they may be fed by those who have more food than they need.

For those who suffer the diseases of poverty -

    that they may find help from those who suffer the diseases of affluence.

For those who are neglected -

    that they may find care from those who are loved.
