Call it by name: Racism is a sin

As we re-member and recall the history of slavery and the suffering and the human lives destroyed, may we make human Pope Francis’ two goals and allow this to be our opportunity of grace, empowering us to action and improving the lives of the less fortunate.

May the cries of Creation and all creatures, and the wounds of suffering humanity, be conduits of grace to us, and enable us to take action to improve the lot of the less fortunate.
