Summary

An indispensable resource for individuals, groups, and parishes who wish to include poor communities throughout the world in their prayer and worship. The books begins with Advent, awaiting the birth of Christ, and then makes its way through Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, the Ascension and Pentecost. It can be picked up any time of the year. This unique devotional reminds us that we belong with people who are different from us, whom we do not even know and yet are brothers and sisters in God. It includes those who are unnoticed and ignored, who live in poverty, war, disease and injustice. If we can hear each other's hope and love, each other's songs, then we will be drawn together and Christianity will fulfill its vocation to be a sign of our own unity in God. Book jacket.
