A Prayer for Talking about Racism with Children

Liturgies for Parents with Kayla Craig

As parents, we long for our children to inherit a world that’s full of goodness and beauty. While we can’t fix everything that’s broken, we can help usher in hope and plant seeds of healing. Talking with our children about racism may seem intimidating, but it’s necessary and holy work. This week, let us pray for wisdom, openness, and honesty in such conversations, embracing our humanity and showing our children that it’s right to be upset about injustice.
