Reflection

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
~ Golda Meir

Prayer

Compassionate God,

You call us to trust in your goodness and mercy. But, even more remarkable, you entrust to us the mission to extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus. The trust you place in us affirms our goodness as human beings created in your image and likeness. Nurture within us the courage to commit ourselves each day to leading lives consistent with the faith you have in us. May your trust inspire us to be good help to others and serve with compassion and mercy the communities entrusted to our care. We pray in God’s name. Amen. 

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on the truth that I am created in God’s image and likeness. What does that mean for the life I want to lead?
