The struggle for justice is never-ending, and it belongs to all of us. Joining forces in a fight for justice is often the most reliable common ground we have with people of very different creeds and cultures. Seemly unbridgeable chasms between religious views can be set aside, at least temporarily, in a joint effort to right some wrong. And then, perhaps, there is the chance that when we return to our respective sides, the chasm is not quite as deep as before. There might even be a reason to cross it again. From such connections is community created, one bridge at a time.
We are guardians for the people,
called by God to care and serve
acting out the love of neighbour,
giving all without reserve.
For those who promote human rights in countries controlled by military dictatorships, risking their lives every day
All: Blessed are those who are persecuted for their struggle for justice: the kingdom of heaven is theirs
One: Hear the voices, small voices, loud voices, voices of the oppressed, voices of the powerful.
