God of justice and equality,
look with compassion upon those
whose land is unproductive,
whose homes are insanitary,
whose lives are under-privileged
and whose hopes are ever dashed by the greed of landlords who oppress them,
the harshness of a climate which defeats them
and the barrenness of a soil which daily mocks their labours.
May the skill of human knowledge
and the liberation of your gospel
bring productivity,
health,
opportunity
and hope
in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
