Reflection

“Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has laid an egg cackles as if she had laid an asteroid.”
–Mark Twain

Prayer

God of humility,

Your son showed us in word and in deed how to live. Resisting the allure of wealth and power, he served the poor with humility and without self-regard. Make us humble in the same way. Free us to accompany you in your good work in the world, extending your compassion so that others may see and be glad that mercy and healing have come to a people in need! Without noise and fanfare, may we simply rejoice that we have a share in the ministry to which you have called us. In your name we pray, Amen.

Call to Action
