Reflection

“True hospitality is marked by an open response to the dignity of each and every person.”
–Kathleen Norris

Prayer

Loving God,

As we extend your compassionate ministry today, empower us to reflect your spirit of inclusion in everything we do and say. May we be truly hospitable in every encounter, with patients and families in our facilities and with neighbors in our communities. Let everyone you send us to serve feel our hearts responding to their inestimable value—for you called them into being and love them just as much as you love us. With our colleagues and partners in ministry, may we foster a culture at work that better reflects your own unconditional love, allowing people to be their true selves as we all seek to serve the common good. Amen.

Call to Action

Be conscientious today about how I express a genuine spirit of hospitality to every person
I encounter.
