Reflection

“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos.” –Thích Nhất Hạnh

Prayer

God of Health,

Your blessings to us are beyond counting. To wake in the morning with air in our lungs. . . To put feet on the ground and walk, move, or run. . . To be energized with the rhythm of blood and the flow of nutrition borrowed from the circle of life. . .  All this is gift, and we are right to give thanks. Help us each day to be mindful of those who lack such gifts and may we all be more faithful to steward our bodies conscientiously. In gratitude to you, the Author of Life, Amen.
