Monthly Prayer Petition | December 2023

God of justice, in your wisdom you create all people in your image, without exception. This Advent help us to open our eyes to see the dignity, beauty, and worth of every human being. Open our minds to understand that all your children are siblings in the same human family. Open our hearts to repent of racist attitudes, behaviors and speech which demean others. Open our ears to hear the cries of those wounded by racial discrimination, and their passionate appeals for change. Strengthen our resolve to make amends for past injustices and to make right the wrongs we have committed in the past. Fill us with courage that we might seek to heal wounds, build bridges, forgive and be forgiven, and establish peace and equality for all. 

P: Lord In Your Mercy. 

C: Hear Our Prayer
