Reflection

“Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.”
–Albert Schweitzer

Prayer

Spirit of love,

Your call to serve others entails a paradox that we get to prove true in our experience: by serving others, we somehow find ourselves the more richly blessed with abiding happiness and a job well done. As we work hard today to share your healing compassion with others, we pray that each one of our associates and leaders and partners would experience a deep sense of joy as they collectively perform so many acts of service. May our patients’ lives be blessed through so many faithful servants; and may those who serve be rewarded in knowing that, even in the smallest of gestures, they are ultimately serving you, the source of all blessing. Amen.

Call to Action

Recommit to embody our value of service today, putting others first and looking for ways to
bless them.
