Reflection

“How do you change the world? One room at a time. Which room? The one you’re in.” –Peter Block

Prayer

God with us,

We pray for all associates serving at the bedside today, room after room, extending your compassion to people in need of good care. May these devoted servants be empowered by your Spirit and by our concrete expressions of gratitude. May they feel in their bones how they are literally changing the world, one room at a time. Yes, for all those involved in so many ways in the direct care of our patients, let them share an abiding sense for how they are embodying your mission for the life of the world. One procedure at a time, one encounter at a time, one simple exchange, one smile, one word of kindness. We pray this with gratitude, that you trust us to change the world in your name, day after day. Amen.

Call to Action

Before entering every room today, check myself and make sure my heart is in the right place to be my best self for the people I meet.
