A PRAYER FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE From the Council of Christians and Jews
Loving God, you care for each and every human life. All people are cherished as your beloved children, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary their stories are.
Today we come before you to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
We lament the loss of the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution, and victims of all genocides.
May our minds be clear and attentive to their memory, and our hearts be moved to bear witness to their lives.
Help us all to turn away from hatred and division, and to build a world where genocide is no more.
Strengthen us so that we, in our own ordinary ways, may show extraordinary love in the world today. Amen.
