Reflection

“To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through: that is to be a nurse.” ~ Rawsi Williams

Prayer

God of love,

Bless our nurses. May they know the truth of the difference they make in the lives of patients and their families, in the lives of their colleagues and co-workers, in the life of the communities in which they serve. May they know the gratitude of our entire ministry, thankful for who they are and what they do despite the many challenges and obstacles they face. May they know the depths of your love for each of them. And may they continue to respond to your call to embody the compassionate ministry of Jesus in their lives and work. Together, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect on our BSMH statements of mission, vision, and values. Consider one new commitment I can make to extend the legacy of this ministry and the example and spirit of our nurses into the places I live, work, and play.
