National Nurses Week

Reflection

“Nurses are the heart of healthcare.” ~ Donna Wilk Cardill

Prayer

God of compassion,

Today, we begin our celebration of National Nurses Week. May this week serve to remind us of the tremendous gift our nurses are not only to their patients but to us all. May our commemoration of this week instill within us a spirit of gratitude for the compassion and care with which nurses pursue their vocation. May their dedication inspire each of us to renew our commitment to our call to extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus to all we encounter, especially to people who are sick and vulnerable. In your name, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a moment today to say thank you to a nurse for their dedicated service and for the compassion and care they provide to others on a daily basis.
