“Blessed is the servant who loves his brother as much when he is sick and useless as when he is well and can be of service to him”
— Francis of Assisi
Simplified Meaning:
It's wonderful to be a person who cares for others just as much in bad times as they do in good times. Imagine you have a good friend who always helps you whenever you need it. Now, this friend gets very sick and can't help you anymore. Even though they can't do anything for you right now, you still care about them and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. This shows true friendship and kindness. For example, take the case of nurses and caregivers in hospitals. They look after their patients regardless of how sick they are. Even if a patient can't do anything to thank them or help them back, the nurses still care for them with the same love and dedication. So, in our lives, we should also treat our family, friends, and anyone close to us with the same love and support, no matter what they can or cannot do for us. This kind of behavior builds strong, meaningful relationships and helps create a more caring world.
