A Physician Who Does Not Charge

God sent the human race a physician, a savior, one who healed without charging a fee. Christ also came to reward those who would be healed by him.

Christ heals the sick, and he makes a gift to those whom he heals. And the gift he makes is himself!

-- Sermon 156, 2

Prayer. Lord, you are our Physician, healing the ills of all. You reduce the swelling of pride, renew wasted life, and excise what is superfluous. You preserve what is necessary, restore what has been lost, and cure what has been corrupted.

-- Chrisitan Combat 11, 12
