Reflection

“Once a nurse, always a nurse. No matter where you go or what you do, you can never truly get out of nursing. It’s like the Mafia… you know too much.” – Deb Gauldin

Prayer

Spirit of Service,

We thank you for the unshakable devotion of our nurses, who carry your spirit of service with them wherever they go. Even as their roles and functions may change, it’s their calling to care remains, anchored as it is in your own abundant love and compassion. Give them perseverance, protection, and strength to accomplish their work, today and each day, and remind them it is never in vain. May we all be inspired to renew our commitment to our many and varied vocations, so that your ministry may continue to flourish now and into the future. As your hands and feet to a world in need, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Consider my sense of commitment to the vocation I’ve chosen. Do I approach whatever it is that I’ve been given to do as an opportunity to serve the world’s needs?
