Prayer for Racial Justice, Solidarity, and Healing
Featuring reflections, song, and dance from Fordham staff, faculty, students, and community partners.
Join together as one community to bear witness against the injustice of systemic racism and pray for courage, hope, and healing to build a more just world.
Come, Holy Spirit!
Fill the hearts of your faithful.
Enkindle within us the fire of your love.
Come, Holy Spirit!
Breathe into us a fiery passion for justice.
Especially for those who have the breath of life crushed from them.
Amen.
