Prayer

Lord of all, today we celebrate with our Sikh sisters and brothers the birth of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. Stir within us the same respect and appreciation he had for your presence in all that exists. May his commitment to equality, love, goodness, and virtue inspire us to model our behavior reflecting these eternal truths. Fill us with the same spirit that animated Guru Nanak and move us to lead lives of selfless service, commitment to social justice, and the affirmation of human dignity. Amen.

God of wisdom and truth, bless our celebration of Women’s Equality Day in remembrance of the certification of the 19th amendment which affirmed women’s right to vote in the United States. Strengthen our voices that we may always have the courage to speak out for what is right and good and true. Fill our hearts with gratitude for those who came before us, who worked tirelessly to make the world more just. May their example encourage us in our efforts to create a better world. We pray this in your name. Amen.
