Presidents’ Day (US)

Reflection

“Don’t expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.” –Calvin Coolidge

Prayer

Empowering God,

As we celebrate the legacy of U.S. Presidents today and envision the future of the office, we ask for the faith to believe we can transform divisions into unity, rivalries into healthy collaboration, and political distractions into focused attention on what matters most: building up the common good and serving the needs of all, especially those who are weak and vulnerable among us. Amen.

Call to Action

Think about the real difference I’m making to build up those who are weak. Do I use my leadership and influence to tear others down or build others up?
