What had been good doctor-patient encounters turned into eaningful human interactions where hurts are shared and comfort made real. Aware of Jesus' presence, compassion, and love, patient and doctor alike have experienced a new way to relate, to heal, and to live. In the hustle and bustle of modern healthcare, Dr. Mari's reflections on the Gospel according to Luke offer a transforming message for medical professionals and caregivers.
