Mary, friend and mother to all,

through your Son, God has found a way

to unite himself to every human being,

called to be one people,

sisters and brothers to each other.

 

We ask for your help in calling on your Son,

seeking forgiveness for the times when

we have failed to love and respect one another.

 

We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son

the grace we need to overcome the evil of racism

and to build a just society.

 

We ask for your help in following your Son,

so that prejudice and animosity

will no longer infect our minds or hearts

but will be replaced with a love that respects

the dignity of each person.

 

Mother of the Church,

the Spirit of your Son Jesus

warms our hearts:

pray for us.

The recent death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer last week has the nation recognizing that racial injustices still exist in our country and need to be addressed. The Catholic Church stands in solidarity against all forms of injustice. Children easily become aware of what is happening in our world and can become confused, frightened and upset.
