Our Lady of Guadalupe
Response: Pray for us
When our conflicts enrage violence…
When our borders become prisons…
When our children turn into enemies…
When our poor remain prisoners…
When our poverty overwhelms families…
When our diseases discourage the future…
When our ignorance keeps us separated…
When our social media insights hatred…
When our faith melts into politics…
When our ancestors no longer teach us…
When our insecurities become religion…
When our racism destroys relationships…
When our rich enslave the poor…
When our paths merge into fear…
When our sickness turns into abhorrence…
When our brows crease from worry…
When our children are silenced by terror…
When our future lacks education…
Reveal roses of your presence…
Reveal hope for the poor…
Reveal faith in your Son, Jesus…
Amen
Broken But Not Divided 
When we smell the roses and know you are at our side hope sustains us through our darkness back to the light.
