ARCHBISHOP Hallinan stres
sed the spiritual basis of care
for the sick in his address;
"The modem man who is too
busy to visit and help the sick;
the modem mind too squea
mish to think or talk about
death; the modem neighborhood
too conscious of real estate
values to allow a hospital with
in its boundaries - these are
far from Christ no matter how
often they speak or worship in

his name. They simply do not
understand that a mystery lies
at the very center of Chris
tianity, the obedience of Christ
to the law of suffering, and His
active ministry in its relife. A
"non-suffering Christ'* would
be a contradiction in terms. A
man or woman who ignores the
sufferings of another, or des
pairs at his own, is a tragic
figure in the drama of human
life."
THE ARCHBISHOP referred
to the duel community role of
the Catholic hospital:
"But a Catholic hospital has
today another role that looks
beyond that of the ministry of
healing. This is the ministry
of good will. Long before the
Ecumenical Movement began
to move, the South was beiijg
dotted with dozens of Catholic
hospitals. Most of them began,
as did our own, on a shoe
string, but the string was a
bond of unity In mercy. Blend
ing compassion and skill, the
Sisters won the hearts of many
who had seldom seen a whole
live Catholic before, much less
talked to one. They did more
than represent the Church. To
thousands of our faith, they
were the church. They did not
argue, nor preach, nor Intrude,
nor (that ugly word) prosely
tize. They simply lived a spec
ial life, close to God, and ser
ved their fellowmen, To some
one meeting them for the first
time, they were strange, even
odd. Then their vocation came
N. ATLANTA KNIGHT
to be seen as a mystery, un
known but respected. Patients
found them, besides being good
nurses, kind and considerate,
unselfish and courageous. The
Hospital Sisters have been the
front-line troops of under
standing, the vanguard, the thin
red line of heroines in the Ecu
menical movement of American
Christianity.
"IN THE larger view that
looks beyond the bedside, their
ecumenical role is today the
special vocation of the nursing
Sister. In Athens, the percent
age of Catholic patients is 3.5%
At St. Joseph Infirmary it is
about 1 in 10. In Holy Family,
it may well be even less. The
Sisters serve the person, not
his creed; just as they serve the
person, not his color. Our hos
pitals are appreciated in a
grateful community because in
stinctively every straight-
thinking American citizen rea
lizes that medical need, not
color or creed, should be the
basis of hospital admission.
This calls, of course, for a
highly developed sense of com
passion, and as we all know, a
high degree of courage. There is
no group of Americans (and I
say this, not as a Catholic bis
hop, but as an American citi
zen) doing more today than the
Hospital Sisters to bring to
reality the American dream of
equality; no group more sen
sitive to the ecumenical pray
er of Christ: **That today all
may be one, as You, Father, in
Me, and I in You.**
