World Humanitarian Day

Reflection

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Prayer

God of Compassion,

In the field of health care, we live to serve others—but it’s important to pause and ask ourselves, “Why are we here?” On this World Humanitarian Day, help us to reflect more deeply on our call to humanity: our call to reach out, to care, and to walk with all who cross our path. Guide us to respond to this call with open hearts and willing hands, honoring the dignity of every person you have placed in our lives. For this we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Make it a point today to see each person that I meet as a gift to my life.
