Once again, over 200 people turned out this morning for an amazing event at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Santa Ana, California.
As part of the service, the pastor led us in a beautiful bilingual prayer for justice at Wal-Mart:
"Oracion de los Fieles"/"Prayer of the Faithful"For Wal-Mart, to wake up and help lead this nation to a more just and healthy society through their wage and benefit policies.
Para que Wal-mart se despierta y ayudarnos a hacer una sociedad mas justa y mas sana. Roguemos al Senor.
For all businesses in relationship to their workers, that their dignity and safety be held as a high priority.
Para que todos los negocios en relacion con sus empleados, pongan como prioridad, su dignidad, seguridad y salud.
That, in particular, the workers of Wal-Mart may experience the solidarity we are sharing with them today so that they may be encouraged in their struggle to achieve justice in the workplace.
Que, en particular, los trabajadores en Wal-Mart experimenten hoy nuestra solidaridad con ellos en su deseo para cambios y que siguen por la justicia.
That we might respond generously in this Call to Action to sign up, expressing our encouragement.
Que nosotros podamos responder generosamente con nuestras firmas que expresen nuestro apoyo.
Amen.
