Prayer for NAIDOC week

As we stand around this fire, let us receive its blessing;

Spirit of the Fire, be on our lips, that we may speak the truth in kindness.

Spirit of the Fire, put your glow in our eyes, that we may see what is good in life and in all people

Spirit of the Fire, burn in our ears, that we may hear with deep listening.

Spirit of the Fire, be in our arms and hands, that we may serve others with care

Spirit of the Fire, be in our legs and feet so that we may walk the earth with respect and give thanks for its life-giving nourishment

Spirit of the Fire, brand our hearts with the eternal flame of your love, that we may become the bearers of peace, beauty, hope, harmony and Reconciliation.
