Respect Towards All – Social Justice Week

Welcome

The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying Good morning to all. One can start this assembly stop for a moment of silence to be mindful of the present moment. Then make the sign of the cross: “In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen”

Introduction

This week is social justice week. During this week we can become more aware that everyone should be treated fairly and respected no matter where they come from. Let us watch this clip together and discuss further.

Watch

How does the clip make you feel? What do you think?

Reflective Thought

In this clip we saw two people of different views coming together to achieve a goal – building stools and a bar, they sat and discussed. They did not persuade each other but accepted one another with their differences. Why do not we try to become more accepting of those who are or think differently of us?

Prayer

Dear God, may we always remember that each human being is made in your image. Help us to overlook any differences there is and respect one another beyond any titles society gives. Amen.
