Bill of Rights Day

Reflection

“The framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to create rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.” ~ Justice William Brennan

Prayer

Lord of all, the affirmation and promotion of human dignity is foundational to who we are as people and as a ministry. Bless our efforts on this day celebrating the affirmation and protection of fundamental rights to advance the cause of respect for dignity through the work we do and the lives we lead. May we affirm that dignity in all we meet and in all we do. We pray to you, the Lord and creator of us all. Amen.

Call to Action

Perform one action today that affirms and promotes the dignity of someone who crosses my path.
