Bless us with the ability to see our neighbor in need. Help us to reach out to our communities with loving action. Guide us in the work that Jesus began and that you want to continue in each of us according to your call. Enlighten us on our journey and guide us with peaceful hearts and minds. Rights and Responsibilities People have a fundamental right to life, food, shelter, health care, education, and employment.
All people have a right to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities to respect the rights of others in the wider society and to work for the common good. Any denial of these rights harms the persons and the society. Prayer for Basic Rights Lord of Wisdom, enlighten us with your vision of a people who reaches out to one another. Magnify the injustices in our daily walk with you so that we may see the basic rights of others that need to be defended. Provide us with the voice to speak as your Spirit leads.
