Reflection

“Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to.”
~ Mitch Albom

Prayer

Almighty and ever-living God,

You sacrificed your son Jesus for love of us. Jesus sacrificed himself for love of us. Countless women and men throughout history have sacrificed themselves out of love and a desire to make the world a better place. Give us the strength to respond to your call to give of ourselves to improve the lives of others. May our sacrifices contribute to fulfilling your dream for the world and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. We pray in God’s name. Amen.
