Rosa Parks Day

Reflection

“I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free…so other people would also be free.” ~ Rosa Parks

Prayer

God of justice, fill us with your Holy Spirit this day as we celebrate and remember Rosa Parks and the contribution she made to civil rights in the United States. Inspire us by her example to be people of courage, committed to doing what is right and just. Strengthen us in mind and heart that we might dedicate our lives to the affirmation and promotion of human dignity, the common good, and freedom. With trust in you, we pray. Amen.
