I should no longer say that I have neighbors to help, but that I must myself be a neighbor to others.

To BreakThe Cycle of Poverty
For over 38 million Americans, there is a thin line: between eviction and home, between hunger and health, between unemployment and work, between anxiety and stability. This line is the Poverty Line. For a family of four, that line is $25,750 a year*. ~ U.S. Census Bureau, Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, 2018.
Watch this 6 minute video from the Archdiocese of Chicago on the powerful work the Campaign for Human Development makes possible.

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.
