A quote from Pope Francis:

“You who, as patients, experience the frailty of the body, can offer a powerful testimony to those who are near you of how the Gospel and the merciful love of the Father are a precious asset in life, not money or power. Indeed, even when a person is important according to a worldly logic, he is not able to add even one extra day to his own life.”

— Message to patients in Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Hospital, July 14, 2014
