Prayer for Equality

written by Theresa Konitzer

 God, creator of all living things, unite us a people of faith to stand side by side with our suffering brothers and sisters. You have created us in Your image and likeness as equals. Our greatest sin occurs when we treat people with disrespect or as if they were created inferior because of the color of their skin. Let us reach out to those most hurt by our acts of discrimination. Let our prayers plead for their forgiveness for any wrong we have committed. As a community, guided by the Holy Spirit, let us work toward educating society and seek to be models of Your love so that a real conversion can occur.

We pray this in Your name.

Amen.
