“Caring for the soul requires that we be fully present in situations we cannot control and patient as a genuine meaning and a direction unfold. It means seeing familiar things in new ways, listening rather than speaking, learning from patients rather than teaching them, and cultivating the capacity to be amazed. It means recognizing the power of our own humanity to make a difference in the lives of others and valuing it as highly as our expertise. Finally, it means discovering that health care is a front-row seat on mystery and sitting in that seat with open eyes.”

“At the beginning of the Farewell Discourse, Jesus highlights what is to be the defining characteristic of his followers: love for one another (John 13:34–35). This love is to be so clear and visible that by observing it, outsiders will know that Jesus’s disciples are his followers. Sadly, many unbelievers today would probably not mention love as the primary characteristic of Christians.”
