INTRODUCTIO
NIN
TRODUCTIO
NThe Prayer Walk is a spiritual journey
into the heart of our deepest selveshellipAnd back out into this world with
a greater understandinghellipOf who we are and who we
are called to be
A walking meditation of solidarityhellipof becominghellipONE
ONE in mindhellipONE in spirit hellip and ONE in heart
It is an invitation to walk in rhythm with ONErsquos breathinghellip
Aware that as you walk as ONE on the journeyhellip
That you become united as ldquoONErdquo with all who share this earth
Many roads and many experiences have led you to this placehellip
So as you stand on the threshold of the holyhellip
You are invited to remove your shoes
Removing your shoes is a very intentional and conscious way of standing stillhellip
Of honoring the sacred that dwells withinhellip
Of honoring the sacred as you journey within
You are invited to stand stillhellipto waithellipto let gohellip
Of all the demands the distractions the noisehellip
Receive the invitationhellip ldquoTo be still and know that I am Godrdquo
As you slowly let go and empty your mindhellip
Consciously envision your heart being opened to Godhellip
Open to becominghellipONE
Breathe slowlyhellipin and outhellipLet gohellipleave all behindhellipBe filled with the life-giving breath
of God as you begin this journey
Look into the faces of the people you meethellip Each ONE has a storyhellip
Allow their story to become your story
As you look into their eyeshellipBe pulled into the heart of anotherhellipWithout bias and without prejudice
In this place and in this moment allow yourself to become ONEhellip
ONE with the Father the Son and the Holy Spirithellip
ONE with our global brothers and sisters
People from around the worldhellipFlow together and meet you herehellipLike the life-giving water of our
baptism uniting us as ONE
There is but ONE pathhellipA continuous journeyhellipInto the heart of who we are
Open Your hearthellipListen to the SpirithellipAllow yourself to be lovingly drawn
along on the path of discipleship
o often in our worldhellipThe least of our brothers
and sistershellipHave become the faceless
and voicelesshellip
People who are forced to walk the path alonehellip
Carrying with themhellipThe burdens of injustice
Knowing only a world of limited resourceshellip
As limiting as the air she breatheshellipCan anyone hear her plea
She can no longer be faceless and voicelesshellip
I can no longer be faceless and voicelesshellip
How I am called to share the journey with others
It only takes One voice to change the worldhellip
Whose voice will it behellipWill it be my voice
S REFLECTION
What burdens do I carry What within me is faceless and voiceless
What do I need to embrace in my life to help give voice to others
How can I speak with One voice of justice on behalf of all people
Speak out for those who have no voicemdashProverbs 318Photo by Kathy Regan for CRS
andshelliprough and callousedhellipHolding on tightlyhellipTo the basic right that flows
from our human dignity
From sun up to sun down working the landhellip
For meager earnings that fail to provide a fair wagehellip
Earnings that fail to provide food on the table
How can this be justhellipto work so hard for so littlehellip
Better prices local sustainability decent conditionshellip
This is not a hand outhellipjust economic justice for all
HREFLECTION
What work have my hands
been given to do Do I receive just compensation
As a consumer how do I shop
with awareness
How can I support the
efforts of Fair Trade
hellipinjustice anywhere is
an affront to justice

hese eyes have seen too muchhellipToo much suffering and
too much painhellipEverywhere there is devastation
Looking out from behind the wallhellipBrick and mortar that
was once a schoolhellipLonging to see the faces of family
How could this have happenedhellipNo warning of the
impending disasterhellipEverything that was familiar
is now destroyed
Even though separated by mileshellipAm I able to glimpse into his hearthellipAnd say ldquoI understandhellip
I am with yourdquo
T REFLECTION
What disasters have been unwelcomed guests in my life
How do I stand with others amid the devastating storms
How am I invited to stand in solidarity with others who suffer
Christ is hidden under the suffering appearance of anyone who is hungry naked homeless or dyingmdashMother TeresaPhoto by David SnyderCRS
smile says it allhellipOr does ithellipEyes that hold such promise
fail to reflect the reality
A life of disease due to low quality or no quality healthcarehellip
Leaves nothing for us to smile abouthellip
HIV AIDS and malaria invade lives far too young
What does the future hold for the children of the worldhellip
Caught in the cycle of povertyhellipDenied a healthy future
AREFLECTION
How has access to healthcare
helped me to grow and develop
What does the future hold for
children caught in a cycle of poverty
How can I help provide a healthy future
for all people of this world
hellipDo you love me
Then Jesus said ldquoTend
my sheepmdashJohn 2116 Photo by Sean Sprague for CRS
helliponly to do right and love goodnesshellip hellipto walk humbly with your GodmdashMicah 68
hese are the feet of Jesushelliptired dirty and achinghellip
They just completed a three hour walk to get water for the familyhellip
a trying journey for the most basic of necessities
I look at my feet and I think about the paths that I have walkedhellip
In comfortable well-fitting shoes that keep out the dust and dirthellip
Shoes that walk well-paved roads leading to lifersquos abundance
Nonetheless while the paths we walk may look differentlyhellip
Our journey is the samehellipTo walk humbly with our God
T REFLECTION
How are my feet the feet of Jesus that walk the paths of justice mercy and humility
How am I called to walk alongside my brothers and sisters who struggle for the basic necessities of life
How do I live simply so others may simply live

hough enveloped in brightly colored clothhellip
The world seems to be over-shadowed with darknesshellip
as she flees a shattered homeland
Seeking a place to call homehellipA place of acceptancehellipBut finding no open
arms of welcome
Over-crowding racial prejudice and lack of documentationhellip
Become now the war she fights in a new landhellip
Life is hard but not hopelesshellip
Are my arms outstretchedhellipWill I welcome herhellipIs there room in my heart
for those who are homeless
TREFLECTION
From what is it that I flee Where do I seek refuge
How does racial prejudice close the door of welcome
Where is the hope for refugees who
are left homeless
Protect me O God for
in you I take refuge
mdashProverbs 318 Photo by Lana Slezic for CRS
REFLECTION
How has education formed me into the person I am
How can education break the cycle of poverty for these children
In what areas do I need more informationeducation in order to make well-informed decisions concerning justice issues
hen the school bell rings in the morning throughout the villagehellip
It announces an option for the marginalizedhellip
It proclaims a pathway out of poverty
Learning to navigate through the worn pages of a bookhellip
The words become an adventurehellipOffering a journey of hope
But discrimination is the only word that some children learnhellip
Access to basic education has a pricehellipso does lack of educationhellip
The costhellipa human life caught in a cycle of poverty

Teach me your ways O Lord that I may walk in your truthmdashPsalm 8611Photo by David Snyder for CRS
eathered skin deep wrinkles and creases contrasted by new lifehellip
One filled with prayers of joy and hopehellip
One overflowing with tears of an unjust world
Wrapping her arms around her grandbaby as a sign of unconditional lovehellip
She dreams of a world of opportunities for her familyhellip
A world filled with more than enough to survive
I think about my familyhellipabout my hopes and dreams for
themhellipand then I realizehellipOur prayerhelliphers and minehellip
are the same
WREFLECTION
What are the hopes and dreams
I have for the people I love
How can I be a sign of Christrsquos love
in this world
How can I change my lifestyle so that others may
thrive and not just survive
Rejoice in hopehellipand
persevere in prayerhellip
mdashRomans 1212 Photo by Kathy Regan for CRS
othing tastes sweeter than the fruits of your laborhellip
Crops grown and cared for by your own handshellip
A harvest of hope for the farmer and the family she loves
But sometimes the harvest is bittersweethellip
Forcing families to migratehellipTo move beyond their own borders
It is not a new land they seekhellipWho wants to be an alien or
an unwelcome intruderhellipNohellipthey seek only to make a life
and a living rooted in justice
N REFLECTION
How has the economy affected the choices for my family
Have I been forced to move in order to make a fair wage
How can she survive when the crops do not bring a living wage in a land she calls home
How can I become more aware of economic immigration
Are we not all regarded as foreignersmdashGenesis 3115Photo by Hilda M Perez for CRS
beautiful young girl with a life full of promisehellip
Someonersquos daughter granddaughter and sisterhellip
Victim of modern-day slavery
This is life in a war-torn countryhellipAn area filled with conflicthellipSold like another commodity
for a life on the streets
The abuse of power at the hands of the powerfulhellip
Displaced endangered making desperate decisionshellip
Decisions to stay alivehellip but how can this be living
This is not a strangerhellipThis is my daughter granddaughter
and sisterhellipas One familyhellipI can no longer be silent
AREFLECTION
How have you experienced the abuse of power
What enslaves you
What other options are available for young women
What can I do to become aware of
human trafficking
I no longer speak of
you as slaveshellip

one are the days of the shovel and pickhellip
And with it the simple practice of extractiveshellip
Replaced by big business and abuse
Removing from the very heart of the earthhellip
The ores and minerals that leave behindhellip
Gaping holes slag heaps and acid rain
Developing countries rich in natural resourceshellip
Become the targets for the raping of the landhellip
Stealing away the very life of its people
Nothing green can grow here anymorehellip
Mining translates into increased povertyhellip
And the question remainshellipwho is to blame
G REFLECTION
How am I called to care for Godrsquos creation Do I reduce reuse and recycle
In what ways do extractives abuse human rights and increase poverty in developing countries
In what ways does my lifestyle aid in the abuse of natural resources How am I called to change my lifestyle
There is inherent integrity to all creation and it requires careful stewardshiphellipmdashCatholic Social TeachingPhoto by Kathy Regan for CRS
e are called to live our lives in relationshiphellip
Inter-dependenthellipinter-connected and inter-wovenhellip
Togetherhellipas One
But the light does not shine equally on all peoplehellip
Our global brothers and sisters still live in the shadowshellip
Dark corners of the world where injustice hides
Rearing its ugly head and tearing at the very fabric of lifehellip
Injustice overshadows our call to be One human familyhellip
To stand together in solidarity
Alone we are not Jesus but together we are the Body of Christhellip
Solidarity is a choicehellipto embrace justicehellip
Where do I standhellipin the shadow or in the light
WREFLECTION
Where have I experienced the
darkness of injustice in my life
How does injustice keep people in the shadows
How am I called to live in
solidarity with my global brothers
and sisters
There is One Lord One faith
One baptism One God
and Father of allhellip
mdashEphesians 45 Photo by David Snyder for CRS
ungerhellipthat gnawing ache in the pit of your stomachhellip
A constant reminder of the most cruel sign of povertyhellip
Life longing to be nourished and fed
But where do I go when I hunger for justicehellip
Is there enough food to fill the hungry hearthellip
A feast where all are fed
Then I hear the invitation to sit downhellip
Around the tablehellipA table with enough chairs for all
It is just a simple mealhellipA sacred meal of bread and winehellipBlessed and consecrated
as a sign of love
As One body we receive youhellipThis bread that is broken
and sharedhellipCan break the boundaries
of an unjust worldhellip
In the Eucharist we are formedhellipOn mission we are senthellipTo live justly
H
Blessed are those who hungerhellipthirst for righteousness for they will be filledmdashMatthew 56Photo by David Snyder for CRS
here do I beginhellip for I am just One personhellip
How will I put my faith into actionhellip
How am I called to walk in solidarity

The final stop on your Prayer WalkhellipThe table where all are fedhellipMade holy by the ONE alone
who is holy
You have a place at this tablehellipA table where your brokenness
is blessedhellipWhere the gift of who you are
is received
The gift of your lifehellipLovingly receivedhellipAnd transformed for a world
struggling for justice
As you have walked and prayed on this journeyhellip
A journey that has taken you into the lives of othershellip
A journey that has led you into the heart of Godhellip
Encountering the struggles of our global brothers and sistershellip
Struggles for survivalhellipstruggles for justicehellip
A prayer surfaces within my being
Where do I beginhellipFor I am just ONE personhellip
How will I put my faith into actionhellipHow am I called to walk in solidarity
In the words of Mother TeresahellipldquoIf you canrsquot feed a hundred peoplehellipthen feed just ONErdquo
INVITED TO PAUSE
YOU ARE
AS YOU STAND BEFORE THE ALTAR
You are not called to change the whole worldhellip
Only a small corner of the world in which you livehellip
To be a sign of hopehellip to be the change you wish to see
Change is only possiblehellipwhen we discover and celebrate
the power of ONEhellipONE body committed to
justice through love
It is in Eucharist that we come to experience the fullness of Christhellip
Where we are strengthened to serve ONE anotherhellip
To stand as ONE body upholding human dignity
You are not alonehellipWe stand together as ONEhellipBegin then with ONE small step
As a sign of solidarityhellipAs a sign of becoming ONE
on the JourneyhellipCome forward and place your
name on the altar cloth
As a pledgehellipAs a covenanthellipAs a promisehellipTo go forth and become a sign of
Godrsquos justice to the worldhellipRejoice in your call to discipleshiphellipWe are ONE on the journey

NThe Prayer Walk is a spiritual journey
into the heart of our deepest selveshellipAnd back out into this world with
a greater understandinghellipOf who we are and who we
are called to be
A walking meditation of solidarityhellipof becominghellipONE
ONE in mindhellipONE in spirit hellip and ONE in heart
It is an invitation to walk in rhythm with ONErsquos breathinghellip
Aware that as you walk as ONE on the journeyhellip
That you become united as ldquoONErdquo with all who share this earth
Many roads and many experiences have led you to this placehellip
So as you stand on the threshold of the holyhellip
You are invited to remove your shoes
Removing your shoes is a very intentional and conscious way of standing stillhellip
Of honoring the sacred that dwells withinhellip
Of honoring the sacred as you journey within
You are invited to stand stillhellipto waithellipto let gohellip
Of all the demands the distractions the noisehellip
Receive the invitationhellip ldquoTo be still and know that I am Godrdquo
As you slowly let go and empty your mindhellip
Consciously envision your heart being opened to Godhellip
Open to becominghellipONE
Breathe slowlyhellipin and outhellipLet gohellipleave all behindhellipBe filled with the life-giving breath
of God as you begin this journey
Look into the faces of the people you meethellip Each ONE has a storyhellip
Allow their story to become your story
As you look into their eyeshellipBe pulled into the heart of anotherhellipWithout bias and without prejudice
In this place and in this moment allow yourself to become ONEhellip
ONE with the Father the Son and the Holy Spirithellip
ONE with our global brothers and sisters
People from around the worldhellipFlow together and meet you herehellipLike the life-giving water of our
baptism uniting us as ONE
There is but ONE pathhellipA continuous journeyhellipInto the heart of who we are
Open Your hearthellipListen to the SpirithellipAllow yourself to be lovingly drawn
along on the path of discipleship
o often in our worldhellipThe least of our brothers
and sistershellipHave become the faceless
and voicelesshellip
People who are forced to walk the path alonehellip
Carrying with themhellipThe burdens of injustice
Knowing only a world of limited resourceshellip
As limiting as the air she breatheshellipCan anyone hear her plea
She can no longer be faceless and voicelesshellip
I can no longer be faceless and voicelesshellip
How I am called to share the journey with others
It only takes One voice to change the worldhellip
Whose voice will it behellipWill it be my voice
S REFLECTION
What burdens do I carry What within me is faceless and voiceless

from our human dignity
From sun up to sun down working the landhellip

too much painhellipEverywhere there is devastation
Looking out from behind the wallhellipBrick and mortar that
was once a schoolhellipLonging to see the faces of family

fail to reflect the reality
A life of disease due to low quality or no quality healthcarehellip
Leaves nothing for us to smile abouthellip

Caught in the cycle of povertyhellipDenied a healthy future

The world seems to be over-shadowed with darknesshellip

Seeking a place to call homehellipA place of acceptancehellipBut finding no open

Life is hard but not hopelesshellip
Are my arms outstretchedhellipWill I welcome herhellipIs there room in my heart

The final stop on your Prayer WalkhellipThe table where all are fedhellipMade holy by the ONE alone
who is holy
You have a place at this tablehellipA table where your brokenness
is blessedhellipWhere the gift of who you are
is received
The gift of your lifehellipLovingly receivedhellipAnd transformed for a world
struggling for justice
As you have walked and prayed on this journeyhellip
A journey that has taken you into the lives of othershellip
A journey that has led you into the heart of Godhellip
Encountering the struggles of our global brothers and sistershellip
Struggles for survivalhellipstruggles for justicehellip
A prayer surfaces within my being
Where do I beginhellipFor I am just ONE personhellip
How will I put my faith into actionhellipHow am I called to walk in solidarity
In the words of Mother TeresahellipldquoIf you canrsquot feed a hundred peoplehellipthen feed just ONErdquo
INVITED TO PAUSE
YOU ARE
AS YOU STAND BEFORE THE ALTAR
You are not called to change the whole worldhellip
Only a small corner of the world in which you livehellip
To be a sign of hopehellip to be the change you wish to see
Change is only possiblehellipwhen we discover and celebrate
the power of ONEhellipONE body committed to
justice through love
It is in Eucharist that we come to experience the fullness of Christhellip
Where we are strengthened to serve ONE anotherhellip
To stand as ONE body upholding human dignity
You are not alonehellipWe stand together as ONEhellipBegin then with ONE small step
As a sign of solidarityhellipAs a sign of becoming ONE
on the JourneyhellipCome forward and place your
name on the altar cloth
As a pledgehellipAs a covenanthellipAs a promisehellipTo go forth and become a sign of
Godrsquos justice to the worldhellipRejoice in your call to discipleshiphellipWe are ONE on the journey

You have a place at this tablehellipA table where your brokenness
is blessedhellipWhere the gift of who you are
is received
The gift of your lifehellipLovingly receivedhellipAnd transformed for a world
struggling for justice
As you have walked and prayed on this journeyhellip
A journey that has taken you into the lives of othershellip
A journey that has led you into the heart of Godhellip
Encountering the struggles of our global brothers and sistershellip
Struggles for survivalhellipstruggles for justicehellip
A prayer surfaces within my being
Where do I beginhellipFor I am just ONE personhellip

Only a small corner of the world in which you livehellip
To be a sign of hopehellip to be the change you wish to see
Change is only possiblehellipwhen we discover and celebrate
the power of ONEhellipONE body committed to
justice through love
It is in Eucharist that we come to experience the fullness of Christhellip
Where we are strengthened to serve ONE anotherhellip
To stand as ONE body upholding human dignity
You are not alonehellipWe stand together as ONEhellipBegin then with ONE small step
As a sign of solidarityhellipAs a sign of becoming ONE
on the JourneyhellipCome forward and place your
name on the altar cloth
As a pledgehellipAs a covenanthellipAs a promisehellipTo go forth and become a sign of
Godrsquos justice to the worldhellipRejoice in your call to discipleshiphellipWe are ONE on the journey

Looking out from behind the wallhellipBrick and mortar that

One filled with prayers of joy and hopehellip
One overflowing with tears of an unjust world
Wrapping her arms around her grandbaby as a sign of unconditional lovehellip

A world filled with more than enough to survive
I think about my familyhellipabout my hopes and dreams for

othing tastes sweeter than the fruits of your laborhellip
Crops grown and cared for by your own handshellip
A harvest of hope for the farmer and the family she loves
But sometimes the harvest is bittersweethellip
Forcing families to migratehellipTo move beyond their own borders
It is not a new land they seekhellipWho wants to be an alien or
an unwelcome intruderhellipNohellipthey seek only to make a life
and a living rooted in justice

Have I been forced to move in order to make a fair wage
How can she survive when the crops do not bring a living wage in a land she calls home
How can I become more aware of economic immigration

In what ways do extractives abuse human rights and increase poverty in developing countries
In what ways does my lifestyle aid in the abuse of natural resources How am I called to change my lifestyle

e are called to live our lives in relationshiphellip
Inter-dependenthellipinter-connected and inter-wovenhellip
Togetherhellipas One
But the light does not shine equally on all peoplehellip
Our global brothers and sisters still live in the shadowshellip
Dark corners of the world where injustice hides
Rearing its ugly head and tearing at the very fabric of lifehellip
Injustice overshadows our call to be One human familyhellip
To stand together in solidarity
Alone we are not Jesus but together we are the Body of Christhellip
Solidarity is a choicehellipto embrace justicehellip
Where do I standhellipin the shadow or in the light
WREFLECTION
Where have I experienced the
darkness of injustice in my life
How does injustice keep people in the shadows
How am I called to live in
solidarity with my global brothers
and sisters
There is One Lord One faith
One baptism One God
and Father of allhellip

ungerhellipthat gnawing ache in the pit of your stomachhellip
A constant reminder of the most cruel sign of povertyhellip
Life longing to be nourished and fed
But where do I go when I hunger for justicehellip
Is there enough food to fill the hungry hearthellip
A feast where all are fed
Then I hear the invitation to sit downhellip
Around the tablehellipA table with enough chairs for all
It is just a simple mealhellipA sacred meal of bread and winehellipBlessed and consecrated
as a sign of love
As One body we receive youhellipThis bread that is broken
and sharedhellipCan break the boundaries
of an unjust worldhellip
In the Eucharist we are formedhellipOn mission we are senthellipTo live justly

one are the days of the shovel and pickhellip
And with it the simple practice of extractiveshellip
Replaced by big business and abuse
Removing from the very heart of the earthhellip
The ores and minerals that leave behindhellip
Gaping holes slag heaps and acid rain
Developing countries rich in natural resourceshellip
Become the targets for the raping of the landhellip
Stealing away the very life of its people
Nothing green can grow here anymorehellip
Mining translates into increased povertyhellip
And the question remainshellipwho is to blame

The final stop on your Prayer WalkhellipThe table where all are fedhellipMade holy by the ONE alone
who is holy
You have a place at this tablehellipA table where your brokenness
is blessedhellipWhere the gift of who you are
is received
The gift of your lifehellipLovingly receivedhellipAnd transformed for a world
struggling for justice
As you have walked and prayed on this journeyhellip
A journey that has taken you into the lives of othershellip
A journey that has led you into the heart of Godhellip
Encountering the struggles of our global brothers and sistershellip
Struggles for survivalhellipstruggles for justicehellip
A prayer surfaces within my being
Where do I beginhellipFor I am just ONE personhellip
How will I put my faith into actionhellipHow am I called to walk in solidarity
In the words of Mother TeresahellipldquoIf you canrsquot feed a hundred peoplehellipthen feed just ONErdquo
INVITED TO PAUSE
YOU ARE
AS YOU STAND BEFORE THE ALTAR
You are not called to change the whole worldhellip
Only a small corner of the world in which you livehellip
To be a sign of hopehellip to be the change you wish to see
Change is only possiblehellipwhen we discover and celebrate
the power of ONEhellipONE body committed to
justice through love
It is in Eucharist that we come to experience the fullness of Christhellip
Where we are strengthened to serve ONE anotherhellip
To stand as ONE body upholding human dignity
You are not alonehellipWe stand together as ONEhellipBegin then with ONE small step
As a sign of solidarityhellipAs a sign of becoming ONE
on the JourneyhellipCome forward and place your
name on the altar cloth
As a pledgehellipAs a covenanthellipAs a promisehellipTo go forth and become a sign of
Godrsquos justice to the worldhellipRejoice in your call to discipleshiphellipWe are ONE on the journey
