John F. Kennedy

Reflection

“With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking God’s blessing and help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.” ~ John F. Kennedy

Prayer

Loving Lord, today, we recall the assassination of President John F. Kennedy 57 years ago. We thank you for the wisdom he left us, for the inspiring role he played in so many lives, and for the symbol of hope he has become in the years since his death. Committed to public service throughout his life, may we draw inspiration from his example as we continue to pursue your work on earth. In confidence, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take some time today to reflect on how I pursue God’s work on earth.
