World Cancer Day

Reflection

“The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.” ~ C.C. Scott

Prayer

Eternal and ever-living God, cancer is such a destructive force in our world, we often speak of anyone or anything we perceive as harmful as being a cancer. Today, we remember all those who have died due to this horrendous illness and those who love them. We remember all those working diligently to end the tyranny of this malignancy. And we give thanks for all those who dedicate their lives to creating communities of safety, health, and well-being. We pray in gratitude. Amen.

Call to Action

Offer words of encouragement and support to someone you know is currently struggling with cancer, has lost a loved one to cancer, or is helping in the fight against cancer.
