Wave of prayer

December 4, 2013caritas_foodStories

Join us in our wave of prayer to end hunger at midday 10th December to kick off our campaign One human family, food for all. The wave starts in Samoa and will cross every continent in the world.

One Human Family, Food for All offers a unique opportunity for our voices to join as one and for us to work together to end the scandal which is world hunger.

The wave of prayer sets down the spiritual roots of the campaign and will involve Caritas organisations and people of good will from all around the world.

Things you can do:

Organise a prayer meeting for midday on 10th December.
Contemplate why hunger exists, how it affects people, how actions on one side of the world affect the lives of people on the other.
Read a reflection on hunger from Caritas president, Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga to the bishop presidents of Caritas organisations around the world.

Think about changes you could make to your own life and what changes need to happen within countries and on an international level so that people no longer go hungry.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

Give us this day, our daily bread.

A way has to be found to enable everyone to benefit from the fruits of the earth, and not simply to close the gap between the affluent and those who must be satisfied with the crumbs falling from the table.
Pope Francis
I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat.

As Caritas we are one human family and we cannot let one member of that family go hungry.

There is enough food to feed the planet. We believe that with your help, we can end hunger by 2025.
