Mercy and Healing for Racial Divide in America

November 14, 2016 By admin

As we approach the end of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, we are challenged to help bring healing to race relations in our country, and the Catholic Church and its parishes can play a big role in helping America.  Following is a beautiful video about work of a parish in Baltimore, and a reflection from Fr. Dan Horan, O.F.M., and the Claver Prayer that are worth your time to see and pray.

Pax Et Bonum,

John Clem, O.F.S.

Following is the prayer of St. Peter Claver – patron saint of race relations

The Claver Prayer

God our Heavenly Father, You have given us life through the Death and Resurrection of Your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus our saving Lord, You came into a world
darkened by man’s sin and gave it light through your teachings,

Holy Spirit, the Breath of God Within us,
You guide and enlighten us and give us the strength of our convictions;

Saint Peter Claver, who became an example for us, You showed us the Love of God
The Light of Christ, and the strength of the Holy Spirit;

We pray now that all we say and do,
in your honor, be a continuation of your work here on earth.

St. Peter Claver….pray for us,
St. Peter Claver….pray for us,
St. Peter Claver….pray for us.
