This talk was commissioned by BBC Radio 4 for Lent 2022, and was first broadcast on 6th April 2022. The BBC and I both received very positive feedback about this short response to a verse from Matthew’s Gospel: ‘I was sick and you cared for me.’
It’s no longer available on BBC Sounds, and the BBC has kindly sent me a copy to upload here. Thanks to everyone who sent feedback, and to those who requested a way to listen again. Happy to oblige.
From the BBC Sounds website:
“I was sick and you cared for me”
Lent Talks is a series of personal reflections inspired by an aspect of the story leading up to Easter. This year’s theme is the power of hospitality, based on Jesus’ encouragement in Matthew’s gospel to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger and look after the sick.
In this episode, the retired palliative care physician Dr Kathryn Mannix explores how to be a companion to the dying as she considers the words, “I was sick and you cared for me”.
Producer: Dan Tierney.
