For our World: Brazil
Pray for:
- Indigenous peoples who have lived on the land for thousands of years, but whose ways of life have been threatened or ended in the name of development and greed.
- The hundreds of thousands of children who are forced to live and work on the streets; that they may know your gentle touch and love.
- An end to political violence, torture and brutality by police and others who are charged with well-being and safety of the people.
- Landless peasants who struggle to make a life for themselves and their children.
- Respect for human rights, so that no one can deny others their basic liberty with impunity.
