NYC Faith in Action for HIV and AIDS Leaders:
As part of the Stepping Up In Faith 2011, we asks
that your faith institution include HIV/AIDS in your worship during July 10 – 16, 2011.
Below is a sample reflection that may be shared with members of your faith.
Prayer for Unity in the Face of AIDS
We pray for the unity of all faiths, that we may find a unified and nonjudgmental
way to fight this disease of HIV/AIDS.
Lead us out of passivity and old-fashioned
attitudes.Replace
ignorance with education.
Teach the young self-worth and strength, the strength of self-discipline.
Teach the old new ways of caring and compassion.
We pray for the commitment
of time and money that will provide crisis intervention, professional guidance,
community seminars and outreach programs
to provide alternatives to the harmful enticements
of the streets.
Grant us, together, acknowledgment of what is and what is not, as
well as a vision of what can be.
