"What is needed, and what we are calling for, is a genuine conversion of heart, a conversion that will compel change, and the reform of our institutions and society . . . [L]et no one 'think that this invitation is not meant for him or her.' All of us are in need of personal, ongoing conversion." -  Open Wide Our Hearts, USCCB (2018)

What is the "Open Wide Your Heart" 21 day challenge?
You are invited to participate in 21 days of personal prayer, reflection, and learning to challenge racism and prejudice. Using sacred scripture, Church documents, the writings of the saints, and more recent theological reflections, we will seek to:

1. Deepen our love for all who are made in the likeness and image of God;
2. Understand our personal call to conversion and reconciliation around issues of race and prejudice;
3. Discern how we are personally called to challenge the evil of racism.
