Publisher's Synopsis
These reflections on sickness and the state of those who are sick demonstrate Benedict XVI's great attentiveness to the meaning and extent of human suffering. The anguish of those in a worsening medical condition can truly be answered by confidence in God's boundless love. In the cross of sickness we suffer with Christ. Both the spirituality and moral dimensions of the care of the sick are also important themes. A booklet warmly commended to both the sick and those involved in their care.
