News from the REC
NAIDOC WEEK
NAIDOC Week 2019 will be held nationally from Sunday 7 July 2019 and continue through to Sunday 14 July 2019
This year's NAIDOC 2019 theme is Voice - Treaty - Truth.
The reforms set out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart can be expressed in three key goals: Voice – Treaty - Truth. NAIDOC Week 2019 takes inspiration from these three aims which represent the hopes and dreams of First Nations Australians.
During NAIDOC, we remember in our thoughts and prayers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of our country and celebrate their rich cultures and inspiring contributions to Australia.
And so we pray..
Creator God,
You call us to listen deeply to your Word made flesh, Jesus the Christ.
With Jesus, may we walk in the ways of your truth
and learn to ponder the mysteries of your love.
Open our hearts to the wisdom and spirituality of the First Australians.
Give us a deep respect for their history
and a willingness to work together for their good
and the good of all who make Australia their home.
We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord
and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
