Holocaust Memorial Day 2022
Prayer for HMD
We remember, this day, our Christian community. May we be enriched by its diversity, united in its faith, and pained by its failures. On this day especially, we repent of our failures to eliminate antisemitism and prejudice within our communities. Help us to be faithful to our mission to witness to a life of love, mercy and service in our world, combatting antisemitism, intolerance, and hatred in all its forms. Help us be good neighbours to the Jewish community and indeed to people of all faiths.
The Pope's January Prayer Intention
For true human fraternity
We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution; may their own rights and dignity be recognized, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family.
