    International Day of Persons with Disabilities


    03/12/2020

    A 3 minute video celebrating different abilities!

    Loving God,

    We pray that throughout the world, people with disabilities may be seen as people with different abilities.

    May all experience dignity, acceptance of equality and self-sufficiency in their lives.

    We ask that all be empowered to live free from prejudice, persecution or discrimination of any kind.

    Strengthened by the Holy Spirit, may we work together to do whatever we can to achieve this.

    AMEN

    A PRAYER

    Our Lady of Guadalupe,

    O dark Madonna of the Americas,

    Come again to bring us

    the roses of compassion, justice, and peace.

     

    In the midst of our winter,

    bestow your love on all those marginalized in these lands,

    and give us your gift to see dignity

    in the least of those among us.

    Bless all who suffer from injustice.

    Shelter them in the warmth of your love

    and safeguard them from evil that rages around them.

    Turn our eyes and hearts to their needs

    and give us courage to act for their good.

    We ask this, relying on your compassion and confident of your love.

    Amen

    (Prayer from Education for Justice)
