A Prayer Against Racism


A prayer by Fr John Bucki, SJ

Lord, Jesus Christ
who reached across the ethnic boundaries
between Samaritan, Roman and Jew
who offered fresh sight to the blind
and freedom to captives,
help us to break down 
the barriers in our community,
enable us 
to see the reality of racism and bigotry,
and free us
to challenge and uproot it
from ourselves, our society and our world.
