Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani of Lima encouraged local doctors and health workers to always see Christ in the sick, who are a light that the world wishes to “extinguish.”
“When you see the sick, see Christ,” the cardinal said during his homily at a Mass celebrating the 60th anniversary of the San Juan de Dios Home and Clinic.
The San Juan de Dios clinic offers rehabilitation services to handicapped children and young people, especially in the fields of orthopedics.
Cardinal Cipriani expressed “infinite gratitude” for the clinic's work throughout the decades and encouraged doctors and volunteers to continue to care for their patients with devotion.
