Disposing Yourself To Total Healing

At The Instant God Formed The First Human Being Adam Out Of The Clay Of The Ground And Blew Into His Nostrils The Breath Of Life He Became A Living Being—A Composite Of Body And Soul (Gen. 2:7). His Wife Eve Was Formed Out Of Him And Their Descendants Took After Them. Logically Every Person With Flesh And Blood Is Made Up Of Body And Spirit. The Logical Conclusion Here Is That Human Beings Operate In Both Temporal And Spiritual Realms.In Consonant With Our Wounded Human Nature Because Of The Sin Of Our Parents The Effects Of Original Sin Weigh On All Humanity. Consequently Sickness And Death Have Never Given A Break From Hunting And Humiliating The Human Family. Physicians In Their Endeavor To Use Their Knowledge To Give Medical Attention To Their Patients Have Always Focused More On The Treatment Of The Body And Neglected The Spiritual Aspect Of The Sick Person’S Life. This Is Not The Best Approach Because In Most Cases When The Body Is Weak The Spirit May Be Downcast.Sr. Zita Iwuoha In Her Maiden Book Disposing Yourself For Total Healing Spiritual And Physical Healing Underscores The Necessity Of Paying Attention To Both The Body And The Spirit In Which Human Beings Are Composed Of. In This Book One Can Perceive A Combination Of Her Nursing Expertise Of Being There For The Patients With A Compassionate Heart And The Practico-Social Approach Of Her Religious Life Of Bringing God To People With Her Personal Witness. Thus Giving Attention To Both The Body And Spirit Will Create An Atmosphere Of Hope That Can Put Smiles On The Faces Of Patients. It All Means That The Medical Personnel—Physicians And Nurses—In Their Endeavor To Give Their Patients Their Best Attention Should Not Rely Only On Their Professional Acumen But Also On God The Author Of Life Who Knows The Root Cause Of All Sicknesses. For “Unless The Lord Build The House They Labor In Vain Who Build. Unless The Lord Guard The City In Vain Does The Guard Keep Watch” (Ps. 127:1). Patients On The Other Hand Have To Cooperate With Those God Has Sent To Use As His Instruments To Give Them Healing With Perfect Trust In God Who Is The Highest Good The Alpha And The Omega The First And The Last The Beginning And The End. He Has The Final Say In Everything.This Approach Is Sister Zita’S Contribution To Giving Attention To The Sick. I Encourage This Handbook To Physicians Nurses Patients And All Those Interested In The Welfare Of The Sick.
