Jesus’ healing... held the tension between wholeness in this life and movement beyond this life. “We are called indeed empowered to comfort others in the midst of their suffering by giving them a reason to hope. We are called to help them experience God’s enduring love for them. That is what makes Christian healthcare truly distinctive. The ultimate goal of our care is to give to those who are ill, through our care, a reason to hope.” Joseph Cardinal Bernadin
