Start of Hispanic Heritage Month

Reflection

“A people’s relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother.”
~ John Henrik Clarke

Prayer

Lord of life, today begins the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. May the celebration of this month draw attention to the beauty of Hispanic culture and the contributions of so many Hispanic women and men to life on our planet. May the attention drawn to Hispanic heritage promote a greater appreciation of diversity and inclusion and a greater spirit of solidarity among all women and men. In God’s name we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on my own heritage. What dimensions of my heritage do I want to pass on to the next generation?
