“Copying others is a good way to start. Copying yourself is a disappointing way to end.”

Prayer

God of the new,

Our health care context is constantly changing, forcing us to stay on our toes. As we learn how to adapt to the changes, we give thanks for those gone before us, who gave us such a rich legacy of life-giving lessons: about how to stay in step with your spirit, how to respond to the signs of the times, and how to embody compassion with selfless commitment, even in times of risk and confusion. In our own place and time, as we seek learn our lessons and strive to move forward, help us be just as aware and accepting of the new things you are doing among us. For the mission ahead, we pray. Amen.
