Reflection

“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos.” –Thích Nhất Hạnh

Prayer

God of Health,

Your blessings to us are beyond counting: to wake in the morning with air in our lungs; to put feet on the ground and move, walk, and run; to be energized with the rhythm of blood and the flow of nutrition from the circle of life. All this is gift, and we are right every day to give thanks for bodies that are healthy. Help us to keep them healthy as a sign of our gratitude to you, and may we use our vitality to care for those who are suffering, sick, or otherwise lacking in health and well-being. Amen.
