On Tuesday, August 2, the August prayer intention of the Franciscan prayer network was published, which tries to help fragile small and medium-sized entrepreneurs with the serious socio-economic problems that have arisen as a result of the pandemic and wars.
As a result of the pandemic and wars, the world is facing a serious socio-economic crisis. We haven't dealt with him yet!
However, among those who suffer serious damages as a result, there are also small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.
They are the ones who operate in trade, handicrafts, public cleanliness, transport and many other sectors.
They are the ones who are not included in the rankings of the richest and most powerful, but who, despite the difficulties, maintain their social responsibility and create jobs.
They are the ones who invest in the public good, instead of hiding their money in tax havens.
They all have a huge creative capacity to change things from the bottom up, which is where the best creativity always comes from.
They invest in life bravely, with dedication and sacrifice, thereby creating prosperity, opportunities and jobs.
Let's pray that small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, who have been seriously damaged by the economic and social crisis, find the necessary means to continue their activities in the service of the communities in which they live.
