WORKERS
Fr. Zezinho, scj

God bless the garbage collectors and street sweepers
and the workers who get their hands dirty
and the sewer cleaner and the washerwomen
and those who get dirty with grease and soap!

Workers, working women,
God is also a worker!

God bless the bankers, and the farmers
and the merchants and the industrialists
and enlighten them too, so they don't exploit
or speculate, or earn too much!

God bless the artists and educators
and the dreamers on the other side
and enlighten them too, so they don't forget
that there are children on this side too!

God bless the prophets and the religious
who love to prophesy
and enlighten them too, so they don't imagine
that only their little group will be saved!

God bless the working women
because they work twice as hard
and bless them too, so they don't get tired
because without them there will be no peace!

God bless the elected and the voters
and those who govern our country
and enlighten them too, so they don't forget
the excluded and the most unfortunate!
