Prayer: God of the living, give us eyes to see “the least of these”, your children without the security of calling any place “home”. We pray for our homeless brothers and sisters and ask your guidance in finding ways to relieve their poverty so all can live in safety and have a place to call home. Amen
Action: Pray for an end to homelessness.
Volunteer at a shelter or soup kitchen where homeless are fed.
