30 September 2024
30 September is observed in Canada as The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, colloquially known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a day of memorial to recognize the atrocities and generational impact committed on First Nations peoples by the Canadian Indian residential school system. It has expanded in the United State as a day to remember the atrocities and generational impact inflicted by the U.S. boarding school system on Indigenous peoples. The Indigenous peoples of Australia had a similar experience.

A prayer for our Haitian, and other immigrant, family members
God who makes and loves every person,
we pray for our Haitian family members,
particularly those who live in and around Springfield, Ohio.
We thank you for their presence with us.
We are grateful for the gifts they bring.
Protect your Haitian children and all children
from falsehoods motivated by fear and anger
and perpetrated for political gain.
Protect your children and our communities
from the acts of hate such lies may spawn.
Touch our hearts that we might
tell the truth,
challenge lies,
disrupt stereotypes,
overcome fear,
practice welcome,
and embrace all in love.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
