Bon Secours Day
Reflection
“The early sisters were very human; they understood suffering, death, and weakness; they weren’t overcome by suffering. They understood God’s redemptive love and the need to bring God’s compassionate presence and stay with the people who were suffering until they found meaning and hope. This is the gift of our charism. . .” –Sr. Elaine Davia
Prayer
God of Compassion,
From generation to generation you have revealed the depth of your love for humanity. Long before we were born, your ministry of compassion, healing, and liberation began. By your grace, and through our cooperation, we pray it continue long into the future. As we all play our part in such a great calling, we thank you especially for the Sisters of Bon Secours today, and the ways they embody your spirit of service for the life of the world. Help us who share in their ministry embrace this spirit and embody it ourselves, so that all may experience the fullness of life you desire for them. Amen.
