Quote Of The Week

Quote of the Week

Here is this week's quote that provides food for thought or inspiration, or, better yet, both. 

“When I am called to duty,

God wherever flames may rage,

give me strength to save a life,

whatever be its age.

I want to fill my calling

and to give the best in me,

to guard my neighbour

and protect his property.”

—The Firefighters Prayer

As wildfires continue to burn across many areas of BC, we hold the hundreds of firefighters in our prayers. Volunteers from around the world have joined professional and volunteer firefighters from Canada to try to slow the flames and prevent injury or destruction of personal property. 

This quote is from the international Firefighters Prayer. As you ponder these words, say a prayer for the firefighters, and for the victims of the wildfires.
