International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

Reflection

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” ~ Winston Churchill

Prayer

Faithful Lord, we know that too often indigenous peoples have been treated unjustly and unfairly. On this day that celebrates the world’s indigenous peoples, we pray that treaties will be honored, agreements will be respected, and other constructive arrangements will be esteemed. May we strive to be just in our relations with all peoples. Give us the courage that we may always act rightly towards one another, shaped by the example of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time this week to learn about an indigenous people and identify at least one aspect of their culture you admire.
