"Those who are heavy with sickness
and the others who are tired because of them,
all of you: bear with it in peace.
For you will sell this fatigue for a dear sum.
and each of you will be crowned queen in heaven
with the Virgin Mary."
--Collectanea Francescana 48 (1978), 5-29
Our ability to bear sickness, whether in ourselves or those we are caring for, comes from abiding in Christ which ultimately is our reward.
