Martin Luther King Jr. Day hols profound significance for us, as it aligns with the Church’s commitment to social justice and the inherent dignity of every human being.

Dr King’s tireless advocacy for civil rights resonates deeply with the Gospel message of love, equality, and the pursuit of justice. The Catholic Church recognises the importance of standing against discrimination and promoting the common good.

On this day, we can reflect on Dr King’s legacy, drawing inspiration from his nonviolent approach to social change and his dedication to the principles of equality and unity.

In honouring Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded of our call to actively contribute to the ongoing work of building a more just and compassionate society, echoing the teachings of Jesus to love one another as brothers and sisters.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. – Galatians 3:28
