Daily Reflections
Prayer
Creator God, You have created all persons in your image and likeness. You bless each of us with inherent dignity. Give us the vision to see each other as sisters and brothers and the courage to treat each other with justice and respect. Open our eyes that we might always see you in one another. We pray in your name. Amen.
Prayer
Faithful Lord, we know that too often indigenous peoples have been treated unjustly and unfairly. On this day that celebrates the world’s indigenous peoples, we pray that treaties will be honored, agreements will be respected, and other constructive arrangements will be esteemed. May we strive to be just in our relations with all peoples. Give us the courage that we may always act rightly towards one another, shaped by the example of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
Prayer
God of peace, on this date, we recall the transfiguration of your Son, Jesus. Send your Spirit among us that we too might be transfigured. With each day, make us ever more into a reflection of your love and compassion. Make us instruments of your peace and justice, that through our commitment to you, the world also might be transfigured into a place of goodness, equality, and love. Amen.
Prayer
God of goodness and justice, though we are passing through a dark valley in our history, we trust in your presence and goodness. Help us to be particularly mindful of all those who work each day to keep us safe and secure. In a special way, we pray for the women and men of Bon Secours Mercy Health who risk their lives daily to create a safer and healthier world. Hear us as we call to you and walk with us as we continue along this challenging path. We pray in your name. Amen.
