Reflection

“Just as love is a verb, so is faith.” ~ Nannie Helen Burroughs

Prayer

Faithful God,

The exhortation to “have faith” can sometimes sound empty and trite, when offered in the face of so much tragedy in our world, or when a loved one is sick, or when we accompany patients and families through the long road of recovery. Yet we know we are called not to sit passively on the sidelines, but to put faith into action and always move forward. By hope and confidence, knowing that you are with us each moment, guide our hearts and hands to help those who are struggling in the ways that we can and wherever we’re needed. Strengthen our resolve to embody our faith today, just as we strive to embody your love and compassion for all. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a moment to give thanks for those who inspire my faith. Become that person for others today!
