God says, “When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.”<\/p>\n

Leviticus 19:9<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

A prayer<\/h3>\n

Almighty God, Creator of all things,
\nMaker of all people,
\ngrant that we may find a unity in you,
\nthat we may be joined together in the bond of peace,
\nthat we may share, with justice,
\nthe rich resources of the world,
\nthat no one may be in hunger, or oppressed,
\nthat none of your creation may be spoiled or misused.
\nWe ask this in the name of him who gave himself for the world,
\nJesus Christ, our Lord.
\nAmen<\/strong>
