Reflection

“You can't rely on how you look to sustain you. What sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion; for yourself and for those around you.” ~ Lupita Nyong’o

Prayer

God of Compassion,

We are called to see beyond appearances and to live our lives each day with compassion for those in need. As one of our organizational values, we strive to show compassion to all those who walk into our facilities, those needing our help, and those who are wanting for a compassionate presence simply to accompany them through a challenging time. Guide us always to extend your loving compassion to our brothers and sisters, especially those who are poor, vulnerable and underserved. Amen.

Call to Action

Be especially mindful today for how I can express compassion to someone in need. Reach out and help them.
