Prayer for Racial Justice

A prayer for Racial Justice Sunday:

Heavenly God, we praise your name and thank you for your glorious goodness and mercy.
Lord Jesus, we pray a blessing for all those actively engaged in the struggle for racial justice.
Holy Spirit, we beseech you to enter into the minds and hearts of all those in authority in the Church. Grant that they may:

Hear the voices crying out for justice
Engage in developing a better understanding
Act to bring about change
Lead and inspire others by their good example.

We ask this through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The love of God is greater than all evil. We pray for racial justice:
In our own lives
In our parishes
In our dioceses
In our land.
Amen.

A prayer written by Betty Luckham for the Catholic Association for Racial Justice.
