Reflection

“The important thing is not to spend our lives trying to control the environment around us. The task is to control the environment within us.” -Sister Joan Chittister, OSB

Prayer

Creating God,

Teach us to be innovative in cultivating peace, patience, and wisdom within our own hearts, knowing that true strength begins there. Help us release the need to control what surrounds us, trusting your Spirit to guide our steps and choices. May our inner environment reflect love, clarity, and resilience, shaping the way we respond to our patients, families and those most vulnerable. Let the calm, grounded presence you nurture within us become a source of light and hope for all we encounter. We ask this in your name. Amen.
