Reflection

“Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. This is the equation.”
–Ibn Rushd [Averroes]

Prayer

Spirit of peace,

As a ministry of healing, we pray for a renewed sense of unity across this one human family. Heal us from division and hatred and all forms of violence and use us, in the ways that we can, to transform the places we serve. May we stand out as a ministry for the way we are advocating for a more just community in all our markets. May each one of our sites of care be shaped by a spirit of peace, understanding, and inclusion, so that our associates as much as our patients will be protected from aggression and encounter instead your healing touch. As your hands and feet in the world, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be deliberate today about the kind of culture I am helping to create at work. Let everything I do and say contribute to a safer and more inclusive workplace.
