There
was a time during the care of my four-year old patient that all I could do for
him was to pray. He was in very critical condition and no medicine could
help. So after taking his vital signs
and making him comfortable, I prayed at his bedside, the rosary and divine
mercy chaplet .
One
time I got near to his head and whispered in his ear, “Wilson, you are an angel
and have suffered so much already. You
are too young to experience this discomfort. If our Lord is calling you, just
go with Him. You deserve peace of mind
,body and soul. I like taking care of you, but I can see you are suffering and
so does your mom. If the Angels want to take you, just go with them.”
Little
did I know that my two female co-workers heard me. I just found out about this when I was given
a day off for a Lenten pilgrimage day. One
of them was talking about what I had whispered to Wilson - the prayer I said to
him. Then each of them called me in a
corner and requested me to pray for them on my pilgrimage, They enumerated their petitions and prayer, a
few were even very personal.
They
were serious in talking with me. So I made them aware that I will make their
prayers known to God. After this incident we seemed to bond even more. This is
what I call an intangible gift from God that I have received in this mission.
