This day falls on the 3rd Monday in January each year!

Here's an excerpt from Martin Luther King's final speech on 3rd April, 1968.   The following day he was murdered!

This is a video concerning MLK's vision of what a life's blueprint should look like!

This is the full "I have a dream" speech from 1963.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Loving God, 

We remember with gratitude today the witness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,

and we ask that we have the courage and determination

to follow his example in battling injustice and living the Gospel of love.

Help us to be ever more the community you want us to be.

We pray this in your holy name. AMEN
