Feast of All the Saints of Ireland

Reflection

“I will now praise the godly, our ancestors, in their own time, The abounding glory of the Most High’s portion, his own part, since the days of old.”  Sirach 44:1-2

Prayer

Living God,

With gladness for our ministry’s connection to Ireland, we join our Irish colleagues in recognizing holy women and men whose lives of faith and service continue to inspire our own. May we be filled with hope, as we envision these living witnesses surrounding us and encouraging us to carry their baton and continue extending God’s dream for humanity. For our neighbors and friends, families and patients, and all those who are presently suffering, may we carry the fire of faith, hope, and love that’s been handed to us by our ancestors. Amen.

Call to Action

Spend a few minutes recalling my heroes and the leaders who have inspired me. Be grateful for them, and commit to extending that inspiration to those I encounter today.
