It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Be guided, only by the healer of the sick, the raiser of the dead, the friend of all who were afflicted and forlorn, the patient Master who shed tears of compassion for our infirmities.

There can be no confusion in following Him, and seeking for no other footsteps, I am certain!
