Reflection

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” –Mathew 11:28

Prayer

Source of rest,

We lift all caregivers up to you today, our own associates as well as the family members and trusted friends who are right now beside loved ones in need. There are so many who tirelessly labor to heal and care for others. Fill them with your strength and resilience amidst the challenges they face each day. May they find rest and renewal in your comforting presence, knowing that their devotion to others is a reflection of your compassion and love for all humanity. As a community of healing, we pray for the blessing of your rest. Amen.

Call to Action

Be on the lookout today for those serving beside me who seem especially weary. Offer them a concrete gesture of my concern and support.
