Prayer of the Day Today is National Donor Sabbath O God, We thank Thee for the Gift of Life. May we always cherish this gift and protect it in the cradle of responsibility. May we understand that our bodies are the houses of Thy infinite spirit. The mortal house is a temporary abode, but within is the brilliant light of eternity. Every chamber is a repository of vitality. Each is a place of life. Together, they form a Temple of God. Amen.
