Today, July 28, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for ethical housing policies in growing cities.

As cities expand, housing often becomes unaffordable for the poor and vulnerable.
Many families are displaced, pushed into unsafe conditions, or left without stable shelter while economic interests dominate urban planning.
Saint Vincent believed that charity must include practical responses to human suffering and social injustice.
We pray today for leaders, planners, and communities to promote housing policies rooted in dignity, inclusion, and the common good.

Word of God
“Woe to those who join house to house and add field to field.”
(Isaiah 5:8)

Prayer
God of justice, inspire societies to protect the right to safe and dignified housing. May every family find a place where they can live in peace and security. Amen.
