Remind me that whether we are black or white or red or yellow makes no difference, that we're all human.
When I might be tempted to judge people in terms of race or ethnicity, send your image to me so that I remember that we are all your children, that we all come from God.
And when I might hear racial or ethnic insults, strengthen your spirit of love within me, that I might speak up for the dignity of all people and not be a silent accomplice to prejudice.
Remove the fear of difference from my heart, that I might look at and treat all people as loving and lovable brothers and sisters.
Amen.
