Prayer for the African American and African Family
God of Mercy and Love we place our African American and African Families before You today.
May we be proud of our history and never forget those who paid a great price for our liberation.
Bless us one by one and keep our hearts and minds fixed on higher ground.
Help us to live for you and not for ourselves, and may we cherish and proclaim the gift of life.
Bless our parents, guardians and grandparents, relatives and friends.
Give us the amazing grace to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Help us, as Your children, to live in such a way that the beauty and greatness of authentic love is reflected in all that we say and do.
Give a healing anointing to those less fortunate, especially the motherless, the fatherless, the broken, the sick and the lonely.
Bless our departed family members and friends.
May they be led into the light of Your dwelling place where we will never grow old, where we will share the fullness of redemption and shout the victory for all eternity.
This we ask in the Precious Name of Jesus, our Savior and Blessed Assurance.
Amen.
Holy Mary, Mother of Our Families, pray for us.
Prayer composed by FR. JIM GOODE, OFM, who in 1989 founded the
