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
