Press release submission Nov 25, 2020

Racism

Cathedral of Saint Michael the Archangel - Springfield, MA issued the following announcement on Nov. 22

A Prayer to  address the Sin  of Racism. Lord  of all, we pray  for healing to  address the persistent sin of racism, which  is the rejection of the full humanity of some  of your children, and the talents and  potential you have given them. We pray for  the grace to recognize the systems that do  not support the dignity of every person,  that do not promote respect for those who  are seen as other, who bear the legacy of  centuries of discrimination, fear, and  violence.

 Give us eyes to see how the past  has shaped the complex present. We pray  for social structures in which children of  color can grow up without fear, in security  and dignity, with access to health care and a  quality education that will allow them to  develop their gifts. Empower us to create a  new way forward, with a new sense of  community that embraces and celebrates  the rich diversity of all. Help us to live out  your call to combat racism and hatred.  Show us how to live in compassionate  solidarity, supported by your grace and your  love. We ask this though Christ our Lord,  Amen
