Reflection

“Whenever ‘Me’ takes precedence over ‘We’, and pleasure today over viability tomorrow, a society is in trouble.” –Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Prayer

God over all,

The culture in which we live is prone to selfishness and short-sightedness. As those devoted to your mission of healing, help us continue to resist such tendencies and to continue advocating for a society founded on unity and the pursuit of the common good. May we stand out for the sincerity of our commitment to serving patients and communities, not for our own sake but because you called us, equipped us, and sent us to do this good work. With thanks for your invitation to be part of this mission, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Consider if it’s time for me to do something new to help build my community in support of its long-term sustainability.
