“What Have We Done for the Poor Ones”

By Lori True From the Album

“There is room for us all”

What have we done for the poor ones, the cold ones,

The ones who seek shelter among us, beside us?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the poor ones here in our midst?

What have we done for the hungry,the homeless,

The lonely ones longing for loving, affection?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the hungry here in our midst?

What have we done for the stranger, outsider,

The ones who are aching for welcome, acceptance?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the stranger here in our midst?

What have we done for the broken, the grieving,

The lost who need someone to listen, to comfort?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the broken here in our midst?

What have we done for the prisoner, the addict,

Who desperately yearns for redemption, forgiveness?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done For the prisoner here in our midst?

What have we done for the voiceless, the sick ones,

The fragile who cry for compassion, protection?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the

voiceless here in our midst?

Who dream of a future with promise, with goodness?

What have we done for the children,the unborn?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the children here in our midst?

What have we done for the old ones, the dying,

The weary ones praying for solace, surrender?

God’s chosen people, blest and holy,

What have we done for the old ones here in our midst?

Please consider signing the postcard to ask our Prime Minister to establish legal mechanisms which hold Canadian mining companies accountable for their actions abroad.

You may place it in the basket in the foyer after mass.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the poor ones.
