'Before and above all things, care must be taken of the sick, that they be served in very truth as Christ is served; because He hath said, "I was sick and you visited Me" (Mt 25:36). And "As long as you did it to one of these My least brethren, you did it to Me" (Mt 25:40). But let the sick themselves also consider that they are served for the honor of God, and let them not grieve their brethren who serve them by unnecessary demands. These must, however, be patiently borne with, because from such as these a more bountiful reward is gained. Let the Abbot's greatest concern, therefore, be that they suffer no neglect. Let a cell be set apart for the sick brethren, and a God-fearing, diligent, and careful attendant be appointed to serve them.'
Winter 2018: I have thought of quitting this blog since it seems superficial. The things I list as gratitudes are trivial and seem irrelevant, but I have decided to keep it up for a bit longer. Spring 2014: using my blog to say a few things I am grateful for each day and then sharing a word I pick out for the day and the definition. 2011-2013:A compilation of thoughts and feelings that overcome me through my struggle to surrender to God and give up the eating disorder way of life.
