Reflection

“God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. For he fashioned all things that they might have being.” –Book of Wisdom 1:13-14

Prayer

God of life,

As people of faith, we know that death is not your creation, but is instead a consequence of our human frailty and weakness. Help us to grasp more fully the sanctity of life and cherish the gift of existence you have bestowed upon us. As a healing ministry called by your name, lead us to align ourselves with your purposes by nurturing life in all its forms, knowing that in your infinite wisdom, you have crafted each being with purpose and love. Amen.
