Here’s
a prayer of petition and commitment on the subject of racism. It comes from the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Prayer
God
of Heaven and Earth,
you
created the one human family
and
endowed each person with great dignity.
Aid
us, we pray, in overcoming the sin of racism.
Grant
us your grace in eliminating this blight
from
our hearts, our communities,
our
social and civil institutions.
Fill
our hearts with love for you and our neighbor
so
that we may work with you
in
healing our land from racial injustice.
Through
our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one
God, for ever and ever.
