The Daily Prayer
SATURDAY, November 2, 2019
In 1996, the first World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People took place in Rotorua, New Zealand. Founded by a Maori couple, Monte and Linda Ohia, the World Christian Gathering is a coming together of the world’s indigenous peoples to worship the Creator and celebrate their traditional cultures.
Great preacher and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”
God, we are so used to seeing ourselves as individuals with personal destinies. Remind us that we are made in your image, the image of community. Help us to love each other and be made one as you are one. Whisper your love to us and let us whisper your love to the world today. Amen.
