Reflection

“As a ministry, as people of conscience, we are committed to safeguarding
the Earth and all life.” –John M. Starcher, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, BSMH

Prayer

Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer,

May the glory of your creation enliven within us a spirit of gratitude for the blessing of the earth. As people of conscience, fill us with hope and inspire us to protect your creation by stewarding it responsibly. As a ministry united in purpose, may we affirm and embody our values by taking good care of the environments you have provided, that we might conduct your good work on behalf of others in need. In serving our patients and families and neighbors, may we be all the more willing to extend your compassion to the rest of the world that we share together. As creatures before you, in one common home, we pray. Amen.
