Reflection

“Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.”

–Psalm 145:12

Prayer

Living God,

To be your friend! What a great aspiration! Yet you indeed call us friends, in the peace you have brought us through Christ. In response to your hospitality, let us therefore be bold, glorifying you with our lives—extending your mercy, standing for justice, embodying compassion. In the company of saints, we petition St. Luke, physician, and patron of healers, to ask for us help and assistance in fulfilling our mission as Bon Secours Mercy Health. Amen.
