beautiful prayer not to be discouraged, is the editorial of the monthly magazine of the Jesuits Peoples (http:// www.popoli.info )
"O God, we can not really ask you to cease the war: in fact we know that You
have made the world so that man must find
the road to peace in himself and his neighbor. O God, we can not really ask you to cease
hunger: for You have given us abundant resources
, enough to feed the world, provided
to use them wisely.
O God, we can not really ask you to eradicate injustice in fact
You have given us eyes to see the good in this every creature, to
condition to use them wisely. O God, we can not really ask you to retract the
despair, because You have given us the power to transform the slums
and sow hope, provided you use it wisely.
O God, we can not really ask you to stop the disease, because
You have given us an intelligence capable of finding cures and medicines,
a condition of using it wisely. For this, O God, please give us rather
strength, determination and courage to act and not only to pray, and
above all to live, not just a hope "(Jack Riemer, theologian jew).
