“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” (Matthew 14:14). The New Testament contains scene after scene of Jesus healing the sick and infirm. In our support for Catholic medical programs for the poor in the developing world, we hope to model our work after Jesus. His compassion led to an outpouring of healing, and we pray our humble efforts will also result in healing and restored hope for the poor.
