We must always put the human person at the center of pastoral work, making his or her dignity prevail. The sick not only need medicines and therapies, but also our prayer, our proximity, and our tenderness. Following the example of Christ who teaches us in the Parable of the Good Samaritan what our thoughts, feelings and actions should be to effectively help our brother who suffers.
