The
healing meaning of summer [Bulletin date: June 7, 2026]
Summer can be a
time for health and healing of the mind, body, and spirit. It’s a time to relax and to enjoy the warmer
weather, later sunsets, and the overall beauty of nature. It’s also a great time to take a vacation
from your normal routine and to connect with friends and family.
Here’s a prayer I received years ago from the International Parish Nurse Resource Center. It reminds us perfectly of how to reconnect with God, others, and ourselves during the season of summer.
Lord, save me from myself this summer,
from the projects that I believe I could do. Let me experience my family, my
friends, and the wondrous world around me. There is much to be done, so little
time, and yet, what is important is now, only now.
Let us learn the peace of coexistence from what we see in nature – maple next
to pine, moss next to water…. Let us listen for Your voice – the still, small,
quiet voice of rest and calm.
Lord, save us from ourselves, and help us follow in Your paths. May this summer
be a time of healing and wholeness. Be
with us this summer, keeping us cool and calm, helping us reach out to others
in healing love.
In Your blessed name we pray. Amen.
