IN PRAISE FOR THE GIFT OF DIVERSITY We pray this day for the grace
to tear down walls that divide us
and build bridges of understanding and unity.
We praise you, God,
for the gift of cultural diversity in our world.
Help us learn to listen more deeply
and connect with the "other,"
who may have a different perspective and background.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,
your son and our brother. Amen.
—Sr. Barbara McMullen, CDP
