Spiritual Health Care


Imagine a man with breathing issues going to his doctor. The doctor prescribes medication to soothe the man's irritated throat and lungs, an inhaler, and maybe a CPAP machine. The doctor mentions in passing, but fails to really address the fact that the man is overweight, does not exercise, and smokes two packs a day. The doctor does not want to face complaints or criticisms, does not want to upset the man, and does not want the man to get mad and quit seeing him, and, of course, end his payments.

Now, turn to the subject of homilies and spiritual health ...

Pax et bonum
