Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday
HEAL COUNTRY
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday 4 July 2021
An opportunity to acknowledge our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brothers and sisters.
Let us pray for the needs of our world, especially the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples during this challenging time.
We pray for unity in our community and culture: that the journey towards reconciliation within the Church may encourage each and everyone of us to make reconciliation our story.
We pray for all members of our communities: that they may discover the spiritual riches of God and our First Nations cultures so they can pass these treasures on to younger generations.
We pray for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and all cultural communities that God’s Spirit of reconciliation will live in their hearts and minds and help them to embrace the diversity that makes for a richer country and stronger Church.
We make these prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
