A READING FROM JEREMIAH:

'THE LORD SAID TO ME, 'I KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE FORMED WITHIN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB. BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, I CONSECRATED YOU, AND APPOINTED YOU AS MY SPOKESPERSON TO THE WORLD.'

God created and consecrated each one of us. WE WERE ALL CREATED EQUALLY. The colour of our skin, the color of our hair, the clothes we wear, and the language we speak, DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN GOD'S EYES. IT IS OUR SOUL, OUR HEART, AND OUR MIND, THAT IS IMPORTANT, AND THEY HAVE NO COLOUR.

Let us try to treat one another with love and equality.

LET US STRIVE TO GREET ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS DOES - LOOKING INTO OUR HEARTS - NOT AT THE COLOUR OF OUR SKIN.

AMEN
