on Nov 23rd, 2007Pontifical Council for Health Care Ministry Offers Up Sacremental Spiritual Aid To Elderly
Religion has a way of inserting itself into every personal aspect of your life that you just might begin to wonder whether there’s any room left in your head to call your own. Forget a room with a view, how about a head without dogma to get you through the day! A recent religious conference “emphasized the need to visit the elderly, a work of mercy in which one gives witness of fraternal charity and participates in the love of God “in an effective solidarity to overcome solitude,” Participants also learned that spiritual aid plays a far greater role in the well-being of a person than psychological support.
Hmmmm…can someone explain the difference between spiritual aid and psychological support? Extra points if you don’t use the word “god.”
