Thursday, September 30th

 DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day, a day dedicated to educate Canadians on the experiences of First Nations peoples who had their culture, language and spirituality taken from them in the residential school system. For the first time, September 30th will mark "National Day for Truth and Reconciliation", a federal statutory day meant for reflection and embracing Calls to Action. Let us pray for those affected by residential schools. 

O God,

We praise you for your gifts that surround us.

Open our eyes to the injustices

brought against First Nation Peoples 

in Canada’s Residential Schools.

Give us determined hearts to refuse to stand by

when the dignity of your children is denied.

Help us all to work to make our world a better place.

Help us to embrace truth and reconciliation.

We make this prayer in the name of Jesus.

Amen
