Racial HealingWhat Can I do?

READ and REFLECT upon the letter:

“Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring

Call to Love, A Pastoral Letter Against

Racism."

LEARN about Racism: Research the

history of racism in our country and

your community. Learn about the

lingering legacy of past racist policies,

present day discrimination, and how

we can bring healing.

PRAY and BE OPEN to conversion on

how you think about racism. Racism

still profoundly affects our culture, and

it has no place in the Christian heart.

Pray for healing and for the grace to be

the peacemakers we are called to be.

You’ll find links to the letter and
