Here’s
a prayer of commitment from the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council.
A Prayer for Racial Harmony
God,
You
are the source of human dignity,
and
it is in your image that we are created.
Pour
out on us the spirit of love and compassion.
Enable
us to reverence each person,
to
reach out to anyone in need,
to
value and appreciate those who differ from us,
to
share the resources of our nation,
to
receive the gifts offered to us
by
people from other cultures.
Grant
that we may always promote
the
justice and acceptance
that
ensures lasting peace and racial harmony.
Help
us to remember that we are one world and one family.
Amen.
