Cesar Chavez Day

Reflection

“Talk is cheap…It is the way we organize and use our lives every day that tells what we believe in.”
~ Cesar Chavez

Prayer

God of justice,

Your son Jesus came to bring glad tidings to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, and to announce and embody a kingdom in which all were welcome. Today, we celebrate Cesar Chavez Day. Along with Dolores Huerta, Chavez founded the United Farm Workers union and was a tireless activist on behalf of farm workers and Latino American civil rights. May his dedication to the cause of equality and freedom through non-violent action inspire us to dedicate ourselves to promoting the dignity of all and contributing to the construction of a world of goodness and truth, stewardship and integrity. Amen.
