“Wisdom of the heart means being with our brothers and sisters. Time spent with the sick is holy time….Wisdom of the heart means going forth from ourselves toward our brothers and sisters. Occasionally our world forgets the special value of time spent at the bedside of the sick, since we are in such a rush; caught up as we are in a frenzy of doing, of producing, we forget about giving ourselves freely, taking care of others, being responsible for others.”
—Pope Francis-Message for the 2015 World Day for the Sick
