Reflection

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.” –Coretta Scott King

Prayer

God over all,

Bless us today with strength and focus, so we can serve our patients and families effectively, attentively, and compassionately. Encourage us to show greater compassion towards each other as well, so that, as partners in ministry, we may grow in our experience of community and move closer together to your goodness and grace. Let our sense for the work we share lift our spirits, as we realize the greatness of getting to partner with you and each other, extending your healing ministry for the life of the world. Together, we pray, amen.

Call to Action

Consider how my sense of community relates to the way I receive and extend acts of compassion. Is there a new step I can take in showing more compassion to those I work with?
