Reflection

“There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.” –Mother Teresa

Prayer

Healing spirit,

Especially mindful of our frontline caregivers, we ask you to fill them with your very own spirit of light and healing. In the face of suffering and pain, fill them with courageous compassion. Amidst the ever-present threat of exhaustion, fill them with resilience and stamina and power. In their otherwise ordinary days and routine encounters, fill them with vision and insight to answer your call and perform the extraordinary: indeed, the extension of your very own mission on earth. With gratitude for all the remarkable nurses you have entrusted to us and to a world in need, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect upon our BSMH values of dignity, integrity, compassion, stewardship and service. Identify a caregiver who uniquely embodies one of these values. Call them out in a special way today.
