World Blood Donor Day

World Blood Donor Day

Reflection

“The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?”
~ 1 Corinthians 10:16

Prayer

God of life,

In faith, we believe the blood shed by your son Jesus is the source of salvation and life. Today, as we celebrate World Blood Donor Day, may we mingle the offering of our blood with his in the hope that we too might share in giving the gift of life. May this day renew our appreciation of the importance of donating blood and renew our commitment to sharing the gift of life with others. We pray in gratitude for the life-giving gift of blood. Amen.
