This is a biographical video (3:16) of Rosa Parks. This a longer video (11:28) which is an excellent resource (part of the BBC Teach series) - well worth spending a few days of Sacred Time exploring this.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (CLICK HERE for a 1:00 video of this prayer) Loving God, We give thanks for the life of Rosa Parks who sat down for justice, so millions of others could stand up in dignity.
We are thankful for her generous spirit and quiet courage that gave hope to so many.
She remains a role model for us, reminding us what one person can do to challenge injustice in a peaceful way.
We do not know what impact our words and actions may have. But may we, like Rosa, take those small steps that can open the way to a better world.
We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN 
This is a great video (2:15) which gives a motivational overview of cancer. It was produced for World Cancer Day 2019 but remains relevant!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (CLICK HERE for a 45 second video of this prayer) Loving God, we ask you to bless all whose lives are affected by cancer.
Empower them with hope and give them opportunities for love and laughter each and every day.
Give strength to their family and friends who are supporting and caring for them and help their medical professionals to use all their experience, wisdom and compassion.
We ask this in your holy name! AMEN

Today is the International Day for Zero Tolerance against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is the partial or total removal of female genitalia or other injury to the female genitalia for non medical reasons. In Africa alone, 100-140 million girls have undergone FGM within the 28 countries that practice FGM and about 3 million are at risk of undergoing the cut each year. Here's a 57 second video just to get us thinking about this issue. CLICK HERE for a video (5:32) of a UNICEF project relating to this.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY Loving God, we hold before you all who are living with the consequences of FGM. We pray for those working to dispel ignorance about this issue and that the truth be known. We pray especially for community leaders - that they take the side of young girls facing the prospect of FGM and that they will lead their communities to greater understanding so that this practice might be eradicated.
We pray this in your Holy Name. AMEN
