There are many in the
world today
whose suffering is
very great, and much
suffering comes, O
God, from the iniquities
of those who breathe
threats and murder;
yet we confess our
own complicity.
Whatever the source,
teach us to have
compassion for those
who suffer.
Feed us with your
bread of life,
and redeem us from
iniquity.
