Prayer for Egypt
From Pax Christi:
By Dom Helder Camara
I will not believe in the law of the strongest,
In the language of guns,
In the power of the powerful.
I want to believe in the right of all,
In the open hand,
In the strength of the non-violent.
I will not believe in race or riches.
In privileges,
In the established order.
I want to believe that all human beings
Are human beings
And that the order of force and of injustice
Is a disorder.
I will not believe that I don’t have to concern myself
With what happens far from here.
I want to believe that the whole world
Is my home, the field that I sow,
And that all reap what all have sown.
I will not believe that I can combat oppression out there
If I tolerate injustice here.
I want to believe that what is right
Is the same here and there
And that I will not be free
While even one human being is excluded.
I will not believe that war and hunger are inevitable
And that peace is inaccessible.
I want to believe in the love of bare hands,
In peace on earth.
I will not believe that any effort is in vain.
I will not believe that the dream of human beings
Continues being only a dream
And that death is the end.
A very timely poem from the EPF National website. Peace, Janet
(I hear Florida is nice this time of year..)
Janet,
What a fine prayer from EPF. Thanks.
And yes, Florida was incredibly nice last week. How hard this cold, and especially the wet, is for our homeless neighbors and for those who may have homes but are vulnerable.

I often think of those without shelter, without a place, too. I used to have a big house that I'd have people stay in when the opportunity arose. I have some ideas on those issues.. maybe someday I can share that vision with you. It has to do with adoption, learned from St. Paul. Peace, Janet
