Wake me up Lord,
so that the evil of racism finds no home within me.
Keep watch over my heart Lord,
and remove from me any barriers to your grace,
that may oppress and offend my brothers and sisters.
Fill my spirit Lord,
so that I may give services of justice and peace.
Clear my mind Lord, and use it for your glory.
And finally, remind us Lord that you said,
"blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God."
Amen.

The Catholic Standard covers (in the article photo) Archbishop Gregory's first public Mass since the suspension of public Masses in March, and his statement on the death of George Floyd, issued May 31, 2020. "The horror of George Floyd’s death, like all acts of racism, hurts all of us in the Body of Christ since we are each made in the image and likeness of God, and deserve the dignity that comes with that existence."
In the wake of the turmoil and pain experienced in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Msgr. Jameson shares an excerpt from Pope St. John Paul II's farewell address at the end of his 1987 Apostolic Visit. May these words resonate and uplift!
