Reflection

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Prayer

God of creation,

You have given us the gift of life. And you call each of us to reflect your love in the world. Inspire us to pursue health and well-being in our own lives and to give of ourselves that we might contribute to the health and well-being of our communities. Stir within us both a spirit of gratitude for the gifts you give to us and a desire to use our gifts to promote the health and well-being of others, especially those who are sick, dying, and underserved. Amen.
