God Who Cares for the Oppressed – Abbey of the Arts

“God Who Cares for the Oppressed, give us the strength and circumstances to be a people of safety. Through prayer, contemplation, and spiritual practice, we seek to become like Melangell’s cloak, like the wings of a mother hen who protects her chicks.”
