For
the Life of the World
Healing
is a sacrament because its purpose or end is not health as such, the
restoration of physical health, but the entrance of man into the life of the
Kingdom, into the “joy and peace” of the Holy Spirit. In Christ everything in
this world, and this means health and disease, joy and suffering, has become an
ascension to, and entrance into this new life, its expectation and
anticipation.
