International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Reflection

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must speak.” –Elie Wiesel

Prayer

Almighty God,

We pause on this solemn occasion to remember the holocaust and honor the memory of the dead. Grieved and humbled by history, commit us to live forward by your spirit and our own consciences, now to affirm and defend every person’s inestimable worth before you, no matter who they are or where they live. As a global ministry of a global Church, empower us to continue advocating for all who are especially vulnerable today—those who are suffering or otherwise in need of our help and our voice. Amen.

Call to Action

Recognize Holocaust Remembrance Day today and continue to form my conscience based on the lessons of history.
