Reflection

“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly.” –Pope Francis

Prayer

God of peace,

In our work as a ministry and as people of conscience, continue to guide us by the fundamental affirmation that all people are equal in your eyes, possessing a dignity inherent to their being and therefore deserving of infinite respect. May our promotion and defense of life be radically inclusive, reflecting your own abundant mercy, so that all will find the resources they need to attain your vision of flourishing in community. In hope we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Renew my commitment to be rid of bias in all my encounters and to see in all people—no matter what—the same inherent value that I possess.
