Let your continual mercy, O Lord,
enkindle in your Church the Never-failing gift of charity, that, following the
example of your servant Bartolome de Las Casas, we may have grace to defend the
children of the poor, and maintain the cause of those who have no helper; for
the sake of him who gave his life for us, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
3 How long, O Lord?
How long will the wicked be allowed to
gloat?
4 How long will they speak with
arrogance?
How long will these evil people boast?
5 They crush your people, Lord,
hurting those you claim as your own.
6 They kill widows and foreigners
and murder orphans.
7 “The Lord isn’t looking,” they
say,
“and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t
care.”
8 Think again, you fools!
When will you finally catch on?
9 Is he deaf—the one who made
your ears?
Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?
10 He punishes the nations—won’t
he also punish you?
He knows everything—doesn’t he also know
what you are doing?
