Prayer

God of Life,

We celebrate the Sisters of the Humility of Mary today, giving you thanks for their example in ministry and the many spiritual gifts they have so generously shared with us, as Bon Secours Mercy Health: their creativity and responsiveness in serving community needs, their simplicity and joy while stewarding the land and all the resources you provide, their courage and fervor in advancing justice and peace… These gifts and more flow from a unique spirit of ministry that we are privileged to honor today and every day. As we do so, help us to follow faithfully in the Sisters’ footsteps, sharing your abundant life with all people, especially those who are poor, vulnerable, and underserved. Amen.

Call to Action
Celebrate Humility of Mary Day today! Honor the sisters by recommitting myself to the simple, yet challenging, prophetic call of doing justice, loving goodness, and walking humbly with God.
