Rogationtide starts with Rogation Sunday and ends on Ascension Day

The name Rogationtide comes from the Latin word rogatio, to intercede, ask or beseech.

It’s traditionally a time when prayers are made for God’s blessing on the land, livestock and crops in the hope of a good harvest.

The fifth Sunday after Easter is called Rogation Sunday, and the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are known as Rogation Days.

These three days usually fall in May, although the Monday can be as early as 27 April and the Wednesday as late as 2 June.

Someone asked me what I do for a living. I said, “I’m a nurse’s aide. I work in a nursing home.” The person made a face and quickly changed the subject.

A lot of people don’t understand my job. Many people wouldn’t do my job. “Not for all the money in the world,” they say. Neither would I. There is something special; about this job. My patients NEED me. They depend on me. I not only care for them, but about them as well.

Being a nurse’s aide is not a glamorous job! It’s an important one though. I take pride in my job and in my work. There is much to learn. I try to improve my skills and myself. Things do get hectic. Sometimes the call-bells seem to go off all at once. Family members ask to do this or that. They all want priority. I do the best I can.

My work is the kind of work many sons and daughters can’t or won’t do! Yet somebody has to take care of the sick and old. So I bathe and shower my patient want them to be fresh and clean. I comb and brush their hair. I want them to look nice. Their hands shake and tremble so I have to cut their food and help them eat. I want them to get proper nourishment.

Now do you understand why my job is so important? these people really need ME. They depend on ME. That’s why I feel I am a very special person. Even though I am “JUST A NURSE’S AIDE.”

I am proud to be a nurse’s aide. It takes a special person to help those in need. You too could be that special person. All it takes is a caring attitude, and the willingness to help.
