Reflection

“Being human is a given. But keeping our humanity is a choice.” ~ Author Unknown

Prayer

Loving God,

We recognize that being human is both a reality and an ongoing task. Though created in God’s image and likeness, we can act in ways inconsistent with the gift God has given us. Too often we are confronted with images, stories, and experiences of our inhumanity towards each another. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might lead lives consistent with our dignity, lives that embody our fundamental humanity, and that affirm the dignity and goodness of all. We pray in the name of the God who has created us all. Amen.  

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on what it means to me to be human. How do I embody my understanding of humanity in my daily life? How do I affirm the humanity of others?
