International STAND UP to Bullying Day

International STAND UP to Bullying Day

Reflection

“One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.”  ~ Michael J. Fox

Prayer

God our defender,

You call us to affirm every person’s inestimable value, for we are each made in your image and called into being by your own design. Inspired by your call, help us affirm human dignity in all that we say and do. Even when that means defending it against the attacks of those who would threaten, intimidate, and demean someone else. Whether assaults or displays of harassment are directed against our own associates, or our patients, or their families, or wherever we serve in the community, give us courage as a ministry to say “no” to bullying in all of its forms. Amen.
