Today is MDG Day, people the world over are marking this Day of Prayer, Fasting and Advocacy for the MDGs.I will be blogging all day about the Millennium Development Goals and our role in them.
You are invited to:
+Pray. Say prayers with special intention for the extreme poor throughout the world.
Loving God, whose hand is open to satisfy the needs of every living creature: Break down the barriers of ignorance, indifference, and greed, we pray, that the multitudes who hunger may share your bounty; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
+Fast. Skip at least one meal in solidarity with the nearly 1 billion people who go to bed hungry each night. (As possible depending on health ... consult your doctor if in doubt)
+Witness. Participate in an online advocacy action promoting our government's fulfilling its promises to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

More to come!
