Prayer

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

NAIDOC Week Prayer

 

Creator Spirit,

 

We give thanks for the richness and depth of the First Nations cultures that have cared for this land for countless generations.

We honour the Elders - past, present, and emerging - who hold the wisdom, stories, and strength of their people.

May we walk together in truth, respect, and reconciliation.

Help us to listen deeply, to learn humbly, and to act justly.

May this NAIDOC Week be a time of celebration, reflection, and commitment to unity.

Guide us to build a future where all cultures are valued, voices are heard, and healing is embraced.

 

With open hearts and minds, we pray. Amen.
