DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
Yesterday, we heard about the Catholic Social Teachings. Today, we will look at the first Catholic Social Teaching: Life and Dignity. This teaching helps us to remember that all life is precious and that all humans have dignity because they are created in the image of God.
Loving God,
We are all your
children
yet we don’t
always treat others equally.
Help us to show
dignity to everyone we meet today
and in the
future.
May we always
embrace social justice
so that we may
live as one body of Christ.
We ask this in
the name of Jesus,
Amen
