What It Means and Why It’s Important

Faced with pain that rips apart, we cry out in one voice,

intercede with us,

oh solidarity Lord.

Faced with death that wounds,

and marks with pain,

give us the strength of an embrace

and the peace that your love gives us.

Faced with injustice that kills

and cries out for conversion,

move us to transform the world

and let all death become a song.

In the face of desolation and crying,

faced with impotence and frustration,

come to our side,

sustain us with your life, Lord.

You are the God of the poor, the One who sows hope,

you are the God of solidarity, the One who gives love.

You are God with us, the Eternal, the Great I am.

God of the embrace, God of song, God who caresses,

God who strengthens, God who surrenders, God of action.

O Lord of Solidarity: Your kingdom come to the mourner,

lean your ear to the cry,

your sons and daughters are coming

to show your great love. ¹
