As we respond to COVID-19 as a ministry, we are committed to our mission to be the compassionate presence of Jesus to one another. We remember that Jesus called for people to love their neighbors as themselves. Jesus recognizes the importance of love of self. This invites each of us to reflect on how we care for ourselves. One way to care for self is through practices of hope. This activity is an opportunity to learn more about hope as a means of extending the compassionate caring of Jesus, and then engage in at least one of the daily practices below to express and deepen hope.
