On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I encourage you to read it, and to pray for all those people and places waiting for recognition of basic human rights.
We pray also for Liu Xiaobo. He is being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China, but cannot accept this prestigious award in person because he is serving an 11-year prison sentence for proposing democratic reforms. His prize was placed on an empty chair.
