The Sick

 Today is July 15.  

Benedict continues to talk about service.  Today the focus is on caring for the sick.  However, read closely, for Benedict and Sister Joan offer far more than you might first think from a chapter simply titled The Sick.  

The purpose of maintaining the body is to make it possible to acquire wisdom.  For you see, every day we have gives us another chance to become the real person we are meant to be.  Never give up.

How much of our precious time do we spend on those with little time left? Every bit of kindness, every tender touch can heal...perhaps even in ourselves.
