Health-seeking behavior is not death prevention; it is life enhancement.

Health is to be sought in and for God, not instead of God.

To be healthy is literally to be whole; to heal is to make whole.

The physician’s basic pledge is not to cure, but to care.

Medicine is there to restore what can be restored of health so that the person can continue to seek the fullness of life.

Health can never be anything other than a secondary good.

A doctor needs to convey the idea that “I will always, always be there. I will be with you through the end. I will never abandon you.”

Choose to do the next thing before and unto God, take a step toward the block. That is all you must ever do and all you can do. It is your spiritual act of worship.

Abortion is not a question about the law, but about what kind of people we are to be as the church and as Christians.

Health care, in the final analysis, is not about results… Health care is about being there with people in their finitude and doubt, in their pain and uncertainty.
