Reflection

“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” –Albert Schweitzer

Prayer

God of renewal,

In our company today are servants whose fire has gone out. We see them persist in maintaining facades, yet inwardly we know that their passion for service has been squelched. With these colleagues in mind, and even as we celebrate the good work being done, we ask also for personal refreshment and the renewal of vision. Rekindle the flame of service within us, especially in the spirits of those who are so much in need of a renewing encounter. Heal them, protect them, and use us to inspire them. Let the flame of your healing compassion burn strong and bright within us. Within each one of us, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Identify a caregiver in need of refreshment and rejuvenation in the mission we carry together. At least consider if there is a way to intervene lovingly for their sake, to assist them towards a path
of recovery.
