Reflection

“The goodness of the world only prevails when we are courageous enough to defend it.”
–Alicia Garza 

Prayer

Ever Good God,

We invite you again today, to open our eyes and hearts, that we might discern where we are called to play our part in defending the goodness of the world around us. Not in grandiose or exaggerated ways, but in the simple ways that we can. As we serve our patients and their families, and as we encounter so many others in life and ministry, help us to honor and respect their dignity and defend the goodness they possess. With thanks for your goodness among us, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Make the big-picture calling to defend goodness as tangible and concrete as I can, based on my own circumstances. Where in my life and ministry am I being called to stand up for goodness today?
