Reflection

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
–Viktor Frankl

Prayer

Compassionate God,

Open our eyes to see those who are suffering unbearable hardship today, including our colleagues, all those who are practiced at hiding their pain for the sake of others. Open our mouths to speak healing words. Open our hearts to give time and attention, so that all can be healed and find strength in each other. Despite our challenging circumstances, may we nudge one another to remember our calling and restore our true purpose, reviving our senses for the meaning of our work in this world. As we continue extending your healing, compassion, and liberation we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Take time to remember what first sparked my heart to serve in this ministry. Hold on to the spirit of that memory as I take up my duties today.
