National Reconciliation Week
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK 2021
27 May – 3 June
Reconciliation Australia’s theme for 2021
More than a word. Reconciliation takes action.
Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between broader Australian Community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Lord, open up our hearts so that we may hear the message you teach
of a world in which the wrongs of the past are recognised –
a world in which a reconciled people walk and talk together sharing stories;
a world in which all burn with the desire to have your peace and justice reign.
Holy Father, God of Love
You are the Creator of this land and all good things.
We acknowledge the pain and shame of our history
And the suffering of our peoples.
Holy Father, God of Love
We thank you for
the survival of Indigenous cultures
Our hope is in you because
your son Jesus Christ came
to reconcile the world to you.
