Prayers for Peacemakers, September 2, 2015
Pray for Veronica, a Mexican human rights lawyer who stopped by the CPT office for lunch after she relocated to Chicago in the wake of serious threats to her safety because of her advocacy on behalf of Mexican farmers whose land was targeted for confiscation by multinational corporations. Her struggle mirrors that of CPT’s partners. Pray for CPT’s partner communities in Colombia and Iraqi Kurdistan who are also resisting violence generated by multinational resource extraction corporations.

| The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD is the maker of them all. Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of anger will fail. Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor. Do not rob the poor because they are poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate; for the LORD pleads their cause and despoils of life those who despoil them. Proverbs 22:2, 8-9, 22-23 |
