Reflection

“As scripture says, we become like the things we love.  If you love the poor, you will share their poverty and be poor like them.” -St Francis De Sales

Prayer

God of those who are poor,

We come to work each day in the field of Catholic health care to serve the needs of those who are poor, dying and underserved.  Their care is in our hands, and you call us to love them as you would, by showing compassion and accompanying them as much as serving them in their time of need. . And so as we continue to serve and accompany those who are poor today, help us to see them as you see them, precious in your eyes. Help us always to tip our scales in favor of those who are poor, knowing that through loving them, we are at the same time loving you. We ask this in the name of love, amen.  

Call to Action

What loving actions can I show to each person I meet today, so that God’s love is spread to many?
