From Father Sudano’s letter of January 21.
When I was doing bedside nursing I mostly took care of people who had had heart and chest surgery, and it was not unusual for elders to take a while –like weeks and weeks — to fully wake up after surgery, especially if they were frail or had experienced complications. One of the head nurses would say, “What Mr So-and-so needs now is a little ‘Tincture of Time.'”
Prayer, patience, and vigilance.
