St. Francis's Care for His Sick Brothers

"It happened once that a sick brother longed to eat just a few grapes.  So St. Francis took him by the arm to a vineyard, and sitting with the sick brother beneath some vines, Francis began to eat first, to give the brother courage to eat too."  --Celano, Second Life, 176

Helping someone sometimes means just sitting with them and showing them you care or setting an example for them of what they could/should be doing.
