Tomorrow is Harmony Day. Let's get ready
This can be done as a lead up for March 21.
RACISM - NO WAY!
Our diversity makes Australia a great place to live. Harmony Day is a celebration of our cultural diversity – a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home.
Held every year on 21 March, the Day aims to engage people to participate in their community, respect cultural and religious diversity and foster sense of belonging for everyone.
Prayer

You created all people in your image.
We thank you for the astonishing variety of races and cultures in Australia and in our community.
Enrich our lives by ever-widening circles of friendship, and show us your presence in those who differ most from us.
Grant that we may always promote the justice and acceptance that ensures lasting peace and racial harmony.
Grant that we may show equal respect to all persons of different cultures that we may come across.
And help us to remember and appreciate that we are one country, with many stories.
Mary of the Cross, pray for us
Amen.

​Harmony Day

Picture
United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination & Harmony Day

This is in conjunction with Harmony Day
2018 Theme: Promoting tolerance, inclusion, unity and respect for diversity in the context of combating racial discrimination.

Gospel Reading: Mt. 22: 34-40 and Luke 10 : 25-27"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two great commandments."
Prayer:
Good and gracious God, you invite us to recognize and reverence your divine image and likeness in our neighbor.  Enable us to see the reality of racism and free us to challenge and uproot it from our society, our world and ourselves.

This we pray: AMEN

Project Compassion Story
  • Watch the story of ​Ditosa from Mozambique.
  • Ditosa is a young girl from Mozambique who hopes to go to university and become a police officer. Featured in Project Compassion 2013, Ditosa faced a challenging future with food scarcity, little education and few job prospects. Cared for by her grandmother and aunt, after her parents died of AIDS-related illnesses, they also lost their home and livelihoods in severe flooding.
    Thanks to the support of Project Compassion, Caritas Australia and Caritas Regional Chokwe (CRC) helped Ditosa’s family to build a new house and assisted with transport fees, school materials and fees, to help Ditosa to stay at school.​
