Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week is observed the first full week of March.
Heavenly Father,
you have placed the breath of life within each of us.
This is both our physical breath and the holy breath of your Spirit,
each essential to life as we know it.
We ask that you give renewed courage and health
to all for whom the physical act of breathing is difficult.
To their therapeutic caregivers give the strength and skill
necessary to encourage and help all those they serve.
And as we each breathe daily the air of your creation,
so too help us to breathe deeply of the breath of your Holy Spirit.
This we ask in your holy Name.
Amen.
