Prayer

Loving God,

We thank you for the gift of fatherhood and for all those who have embraced this sacred calling with love and intention. A father’s presence—whether through care, guidance, protection, or gentle strength—leaves a lasting imprint on hearts and generations. Today we honor all fathers: biological, adoptive, spiritual, and father-figures who lead with compassion and purpose. Bless them with wisdom and patience as they nurture and guide, and may their love reflect your own unwavering care. Strengthen them for the journey, and let their example help shape a kinder, more grounded world. Amen.

Prayer

God who provides,

You’ve given us life—and within it, the precious gift of blood that sustains and heals. As caregivers, we witness the deep need for this life-giving resource and the hope it brings to those facing critical moments. Move our hearts to generosity, not only in words and actions, but also in the simple, profound offering of a pint that may save a life. Remind us that every act of giving reflects your love, and that in sharing what we can, we participate in your work of restoration and healing. Strengthen us to give freely, as you so freely give to us. Amen.

Prayer

God of love,

Mother Teresa saw Christ in every person she served, never turning away from anyone in need. Her example teaches us to love without condition, seeing beyond circumstances to the dignity within each soul. Help us to serve with the same compassion, embracing all with open hearts and hands. May those we care for always feel your love through us. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

Prayer

Lord God,

June brings the gift of warmth and beauty, inviting us to step outside and embrace your creation. The songs of birds, the laughter of children, and the bloom of flowers remind us of your endless love. We thank you for these blessings and the renewal they bring to our spirits. Help us to cherish and care for the earth, honoring the gift you have entrusted to us. With grateful hearts, we pray. Amen.

Prayer

God of all,

Each day, patients seek our care, hoping for healing and comfort. Regardless of their background, we are called to see each person as your beloved child, worthy of dignity and love. Help us to serve with open hearts, recognizing your presence in every face we encounter. May we love without cost, just as you have loved us. In your mercy and grace, we pray. Amen.

Prayer

God of action,

Jesus proclaimed your love not only in words but through his deeds, showing us the way to live out your dream for the world. As we serve our patients, families, and co-workers, help us to reflect that same love in both our speech and our actions. May our prayers be transformed into acts of compassion and kindness. Guide our hands to do your work each day. For this we pray. Amen.

Prayer

God of all creation,

As we journey through life, we often struggle to distinguish between the weeds and the flowers, the challenges and the joys. Yet, both have their purpose and contribute to the fullness of life. Help us to embrace the struggles that strengthen us, just as we cherish the joys that bring us peace. May we find beauty in both, knowing that each plays a role in your divine plan. In gratitude, we pray. Amen.
