Truth and Reconcilation Day

A Prayer for Orange Shirt Day

Loving God, our Creator, help us to be living signs of Your healing love.  Open our hearts to respect, to welcome, and to include one another. Give us the courage to stand up for the dignity of our Indigenous sisters and brothers and of those with roots in other lands, all of us created in Your image.  Strengthen us in our walk together. God of truth, let honesty guide our steps along the path of truth and reconciliation, of healing and friendship. Amen.   Hiy hiy. Grant us wisdom to recognize and celebrate the beautiful gifts of Indigenous cultures.  May we go forward in humility, as the children of One Creator and loving members of the family of God.
