Today I found a great little quote in the alternate Saint of the Day site , regarding Ss. Cosmas and Damien, reputed to have served as physicians who treated the poor without accepting payment::

“For a long time, it seems, we have been very conscious of Jesus' miracles as proofs of His divinity. What we sometimes overlook is Jesus' consuming interest in simply healing people's sickness, whatever other meaning His actions had. The power that "went out from Him" was indeed a sign that God was definitively breaking into human history in final fulfillment of His
promises; but the love of God was also concrete in a very human heart that was concerned about the suffering of His brothers and sisters.”

Quite appropriate to the bad news mentioned in the immediate previous post.
