Today’s Reflection: Prayer to Care

We Pray:

Care.
A simple act.
A profound action.
It’s the pause we take to listen deeply.
The response we make that embodies compassion.
The intentional choice to prioritize love and let go of judgment.

When we act with care, it enables us
to see the dignity in everyone — so we can foster unity and equality.
To recognize the needs of the earth — so we can bring balance to our environment.
To hold ourselves to a higher standard — so we can lift others as we rise.

God, help us understand your love for us,
So that we know how to bring your kindness to the world.
How to create spaces of healing and understanding.
How to shape nurturing communities.

And give us the open hearts and steady hands we need
to make acting with care a natural part of everything we do. Amen – on Marquette University prayer site
