Eid al-Adha

Reflection

“None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”
–Prophet Muhammad

Prayer

Almighty,

As our Muslim colleagues and friends celebrate Eid al-Adha, we all do well to reflect upon our readiness to sacrifice, for the sake of others, in service to love and connection. As creatures made in your image, we all are called to show charity to neighbors in need and to sustain the bonds of community in tangible ways. Help us in this effort, that all people may come to know the joy of self-giving love, so that all people may flourish in a shared experience of belonging and provision. Amen.
