National Nurses’ Day | Nurses’ Week begins

Reflection

“I am of certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel.” –Florence Nightingale

Prayer

Compassionate God,

In the midst of all that continues to challenge us, we are amazed to see tireless heroes performing their duties faithfully—with devotion and compassion, and, sadly, too often, without recognition. Yet in our ministry, as Bon Secours Mercy Health, we do see and recognize the heroes among us, our nurses. Today and this week, we pray all nurses would sense in their hearts the deep regard that we have for them, as they continue their work in difficult circumstances. May they be honored among us, as we are inspired by them. Amen.

Call to Action

Today and this week especially, take time to express my gratitude and regard for all nurses and the inspiring work they do.
