Today, Mercy Medical Center begins internal activities leading up to our 125thAnniversary celebration on Thursday, September 15. We offer this prayer in honor of generations past and present that have made Mercy Medical Center a place of hope and healing:
Most Merciful God of Healing, there is a time and season for everything under heaven. We are in a time of gratitude as we celebrate the many years of mission and service that hundreds of hands have provided to countless hearts in our community.
The magnitude of ministry over the last 125 years, provided by Mercy, is evident in the daily living out of our mission. To provide the healing ministry of Jesus to those we serve. Every little and big thing we do, as the people of Mercy, is for this purpose.
Our gratitude today is rooted in thankfulness, that you called each of us and those that came before us to this very special purpose of serving the health and well-being of others.
We give thanks today for the blessing of Mercy, and we stand in awe of the inspiration to continue to be Mercy, the many hands of service in its history and the many being prepared to serve its future, united with the heart of Mercy.
As we prepare for the next 125 years, help us to both give and receive Mercy in the many moments, minutes, months and days ahead. Trusting that through you all things are possible! In your name we pray. Amen.
