Bolnavii şi grija noastră faţă de ei
The sick and our concern for them

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the nature and origin of illness, as degradation of human nature after the original sin, but particularly the assumption of suffering in Christianity. Christ has showed us that the way to Resurrection, to perfection, goes through the Cross. Hence, sufferings and illnesses make us wiser, open a different horizon of understanding and turn into means of dispassion, of moral amendment. Today, in the world, suffering has aroused a wide variety of reactions and attitudes, from sympathy to indifference, from revolt to joy, from the loss of faith to the joy of suffering. Nevertheless, taking care of the sick, seen as a work of mercy, has always been a concern of the Church. In the sick, the Christian actually sees Christ (Mt. 25, 36 and 40).
