O Thou who art love, and who seest all the suffering, injustice and misery which reign in this world: Have pity, we implore thee, on the work of thy hands. Look mercifully upon the poor, the oppressed, the destitute and all who are heavy laden. Fill our hearts with deep compassion for those who suffer, and hasten the coming of thy kingdom of justice and truth; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.
