Reflection

“In Christianity, visiting the sick and caring for their needs is not merely a moral duty, but an actual encounter with Christ.” –Daniel Sulmasy

Prayer

God among us,

As those called into your service today, we invite you to inspire us by your spirit and by your promise, that you are close to those who are sick and brokenhearted. Remind us that when we minister to patients and families and care for our community’s needs, you are right there, too, near to them and empowering us, that we might serve as you served and love as you loved. Lift our hearts beyond a sense of duty alone, to receive afresh the deeper calling you have given each one of us, no matter our role or title, to extend this incredible ministry of healing. Amen.

Call to Action

Prepare myself today not just to fulfill my duties to a job, but to answer the call to meet and serve Christ in those I encounter.
