The Richness of Diversity

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile... for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

— Galatians 3:28

Creator of diversity,

You created humanity in magnificent diversity: of cultures, languages, colors, talents, perspectives. This diversity is a richness, not a threat.

Thank You for this human mosaic. For what I learn from people different from me, for the horizons they open to me, for the beauty of our differences.

Help me celebrate diversity rather than fear it. To open myself to those who don't resemble me, to learn from them, to build bridges rather than walls. Together, we are richer.

Amen.

Reflection

How does diversity enrich your life? What person different from you could you seek to know better?

For the recognition of diversity as richness and for human brotherhood.
