A Prayer from the book, Everyone Belongs, written for elementary school aged children, inspired by the USCCB’s statement, “Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love, A Pastoral Letter Against Racism”.

We Are All in God’s Image

Loving Father,

Thank you for the many beautiful colors
and languages of the world
and for making all your children unique.

Thank you for creating me in your image.
Thank you for loving me and making me wonderful.

Help me love like you.
Help me share your love
with all the children you have made,
for they are all unique and wonderful.

Amen.
