Reflection Corner: The Gift of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As everyone across the United States celebrates the legacy of peace, justice and unity of Martin Luther King, Jr., may we always promote brotherhood and sisterhood in the confinement of our home, classrooms, campus, and offices.
Prayer: Lord God, source of peace, we stand on the shoulders of giants who have sacrificed for the sake of the Gospel values. Grant us the grace to take responsibility to form our children according to your image of peace, justice and love. Give us a share of the spirit that guided Dr. King and others like him so that by our words and actions, may we become the face of Jesus in our time and place. We pray in his name. Amen.
