Today, June 5, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for those left behind in rapid urbanization.

As cities expand and technology accelerates, entire populations are excluded: displaced from homes, denied access to progress, forgotten in plans that claim to be “modern.”

Saint Vincent called us to see the person behind every structure and the suffering behind every number.

We pray today for development that is human, inclusive, and sustainable. May no one be sacrificed in the name of growth.

Word of God
“Woe to those who build house to house and add field to field until there is no space left.”
(Isaiah 5:8)

Prayer
God of the overlooked, guide planners and leaders. Teach us to build with compassion, and to measure success by justice, not just profit. Amen.
