Reflection

“A true vocation calls us out beyond ourselves; breaks our heart in the process and then humbles, simplifies and enlightens us about the hidden, core nature of the work that enticed us in the first place.” –David Whyte

Prayer

God who calls,

As we pursue our respective vocations, help us not to lose heart even in the midst of heartbreak. On behalf of colleagues struggling with burn out, we ask you to lead them humbly and gently into a place of conversion, where they might find renewal of spirit. May we all hold fast to what first enticed us into this ministry of healing, always remembering that we are simply extending your own great act of compassion for us. Therein, may we all find healing. Amen.

Call to Action

Reconnect with what first attracted me to the work I perform. Reset my heart on the vocation
I’m pursuing.
