Taking place on 5th February 2023, the theme for this year's Racial Justice Sunday is:
'All are included in the mission of Christ and his Church. Let us walk together, pray together and work together.'
Following is a prayer for individuals or parishes to use:
God of our past, present and future,
you created each one of us in your image and likeness,
help us to recognise you in each person.
As we pray for end to suffering caused by racism
lead us this day to walk with one another,
pray with one another and work together,
so that we create a future based on justice and healing,
where all can fulfil the hope you have for all peoples.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Bishop Paul McAleenan, lead Bishop for Racial Justice, focuses on 'praying together' in this reflection:
He has also produced a video which can be used in classes or assembly's at schools, which can be found on our YouTube channel.
