To Break the Cycle of Poverty
Our special collection today supports the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Currently 38 million people in the United States live in poverty. This collection funds programs that empower local communities to address the challenges they face. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development supports those living in poverty across the country. It identifies and addresses the unique obstacles people face as they work to lift themselves out of poverty. In addition, 25% of the funds we collect remain in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects. By supporting this collection, you are giving those on the margins a hand up, not a handout.
Please be generous.

Prayer to Our lady of Guadalupe for Justice
Most Merciful Mother,
you came to tell us of your compassion
through St. Juan Diego,
whom you called the littlest
and dearest of your sons.
Give your strength and protection
to all who live in poverty today,
especially the young, elderly, and vulnerable.
Plead for them to the Father,
that they might experience the Divine Love
tangibly in their daily lives,
and that all who work for justice
on behalf of the poor might grow
in fortitude and humility.
In these ways, manifest your charity
and concern in our lives,
that the weeping of humanity may be heard,
and all our suffering, pain, and misfortune
may be filled with divine comfort and healing.
May we always know the peace of
being in the cradle of your arms,
and bring us safely home to your Son, Jesus.
Amen.
