Grant Me Courage To Serve Others; For

I Have Met Many, Many Farm Workers And Friends Who Love Justice And Who Are Willing To Sacrifice For What Is Right. They Have A Quality About Them That Reminds Me Of The Beatitudes. They Are Living Examples That Jesus' Promise Is True: They Have Ben Hungry And Thirsty For Righteousness And They Have Been Satisfied. They Are Determined, Patient People Who Believe In Life And Who Give Strength To Others. They Have Given Me More Love And Hope And Strength Than They Will Ever Know.

(farm Workers) Are Involved In The Planting And The Cultivation And The Harvesting Of The Greatest Abundance Of Food Known In This Society. They Bring In So Much Food To Feed You And Me And The Whole Country And Enough Food To Export To Other Places. The Ironic Thing And The Tragic Thing Is That After They Make This Tremendous Contribution, They Don't Have Any Money Or Any Food Left For Themselves.

We Do Not Need To Kill Or Destroy To Win. We Are A Movement That Builds And Not Destroys.
