POPE Francis has received a copy of the Uluru Statement from the Heart in St Peter’s Square, Rome.
He accepted the gift in Rome, offering the endorsement of a photograph with the document after a briefing from aides and a meeting with Gweagal woman Theresa Ardler presented a copy of the Uluru statement to the Pope during a 15-minute meeting last Wednesday, ahead of Reconciliation Week.
Gracious God, you have given us this great land of Australia.
You want us to share her wealth, her wonders and her land,
and for all people to be treated equally.
We pray for your strength and grace to welcome,
accept and include all people of this land.
May the spirit of reconciliation fill our hearts, our minds and our deeds.
We ask this through Jesus, our model and guide.
