National Reconciliation Week Prayer

Loving Creator,

We gather in your presence during National Reconciliation Week, mindful of the theme, "Now More Than Ever." Help us to reflect on our past, acknowledge the truths of our shared history, and seek your guidance in our journey towards reconciliation.

We pray for understanding and respect. Open our hearts and minds to the rich cultures and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. May we listen with compassion and learn with humility from their wisdom and stories.

We pray for healing and justice. Grant us the courage to confront the injustices of the past and present. Help us to seek justice and healing for those who have suffered and continue to suffer from the impacts of discrimination and inequality.

We pray for unity and peace. Inspire us to build relationships based on mutual respect and trust. May we walk together, hand in hand, as we strive to create a society where everyone is valued and included.

We pray for action and commitment. Guide us to take meaningful steps towards reconciliation. Empower us

to be advocates for change, ensuring that our actions reflect our commitment to a fair and inclusive future for all Australians.

Loving Creator,As we journey together during this special week and beyond, may we always remember that "Now More Than Ever," our efforts towards reconciliation are crucial. Help us to be instruments of your peace and love in our community and nation.

Amen.
