Reflection

“Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.”
~ Susan Sontag

Prayer

God of Compassion,

Your Son, Jesus, showed us the perfect example of unconditional care and love, meeting every person with kindness and understanding during His time on earth. As a Catholic healthcare ministry, we are blessed with countless opportunities each day to reflect that same compassion—whether through a patient’s care, a comforting word to a family member, a helping hand to a co-worker, or a kind gesture to a stranger. Inspire us to live out our mission with purpose and passion, extending the compassionate ministry of Jesus especially to those who are most vulnerable. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
