LIKE FAMILY
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” – Mark 3:33
When I was young, I’d always
get sick. But each time it happened, I’d always have my personal doctor on call
— my mom. She always attended to my needs and made me feel safe and secure.
Despite her busy schedule as a physician, she never left the house without
first giving me the attention and comfort that I needed.
As I grew older, I got the
chance to observe directly how she relates to her patients. And I discovered
the secret why they love her and remain loyal to her.
She takes care of each
patient just like how she would take care of me. She treats each one like she
would her own child, sibling or parent. For her, everyone deserves the same
concern and empathy.
Now that I’m following her
footsteps as a doctor, I aspire to do the same — that every patient God
entrusts to me, I will take care of like family. Didoy Lubaton (christianlubaton@yahoo.com)
Reflection: How you
relate with your own family reflects how you relate with others.
Lord, may I see family in
everyone I meet, and may they see You in me.
St. Angela Merici, virgin, pray for us.
