PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Christ, who showed great compassion to the poor,
give us compassion toward those in poverty.
Your wish is for all of your children to live with dignity,
with adequate food, shelter, health care and education.
Help us take up your work as a community of faith
and guide us as we seek just solutions to the poverty in our midst.
Amen.
