Today’s Prayer

 

MLK Day Prayer

Lord God, You led your chosen people from slavery in Egypt to the freedom of the Promised Land.  We ask you to lead us, this Sacred Heart community, from any enslavement to hatred, ignorance, fear, racism, injustice or anything else that prevents us from being the community of love and respect that you want us to be.

 

We remember with gratitude today the witness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and we ask that we have the courage and determination to follow his example in battling injustice and living the Gospel of love.  Help us, Lord, to make ever more the community you want us to be.  Grant all this through Christ our Lord, Amen
