Respect

Prayer

November is National Native American Heritage month. Let us join our voices with theirs as we offer this native Navajo prayer.

O great Spirit of our ancestors, I raise my pipe to you, to your messengers the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides for your children. Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace of mind. Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this earth. Amen.

Diversity

Prayer

God of all, you have created each of us as unique individuals yet one in dignity. Help us to respect the diversity of persons with whom you populate the earth. May our celebration of diversity enrich our appreciation of the beauty of the human person and shape communities where the voices of all are heard. Open our eyes that we may see your image and likeness in all we meet. We pray in the name of the God who creates us all. Amen.
