Although the importance of greeting is recognized in many healthcare communication guidelines, its ethical meaning is rarely considered. Drawing from patients’ stories, this essay describes ways in which a greeting or its absence may contribute to patients’ healing or be morally detrimental to them. It argues that greeting as a basic form of recognition welcomes patients in their embodied vulnerability and opens a space for their narrative inclusion.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135926274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many resilience programs are available to medical students and physicians, yet incorporate non-faith principles. The Little Way as developed by St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus would be a most effective way to incorporate spirituality into our daily duties. This article will explain the need for physician resilience and virtue ethics within our profession. Then, the article will describe the Little Way and apply its principles to healthcare to implement a faith-based approach to physician resilience.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135741342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This view is flawed insofar as dependency is not equivocal to helplessness, but instead is the virtue of properly ordering one's individual life within broader society and, ultimately, in relation to God himself. Understood properly as a virtue cultivated through particular actions, genuine dependency avoids the vicious extremes of radical individualism and radical helplessness. Instead, it enables man to experience fulfillment through the development of an authentic personality in the context of a “relational subjectivity” that aims towards the common good, yet always respects the dignity of each individual human person.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136108182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part II","authors":"Maria Fedoryka","doi":"10.1177/00243639231197759","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00243639231197759","url":null,"abstract":"Responding to Pope John Paul II's call to give the “ethical grounds and personalistic reasons” behind the Church's teaching on sexual morality, this reflection written over the span of two articles analyzes the norms of the natural law related to human sexuality from a personalist perspective. The key ideas of this study are drawn from two passages: one from Gaudium et spes which states that “The sexual characteristics of man and the human faculty of reproduction wonderfully exceed the dispositions of lower forms of life”, the other from Humanae vitae stating that “Conjugal love reveals its true nature and nobility when it is considered in its supreme origin, God, who is love … and it is of supreme importance to have an exact idea of these.” (9) Drawing on the analysis of parts I and II shows, first, that the spousal act is in its original structure an “embodying act” intrinsically fashioned to embody spousal love: the self-donation, the intimacy, and the fruitfulness proper to the spirit's act of love animates the bodily act of sex from within, so that the spirit and the body form “one thing” in the spousal act. Secondly, this truth about the spousal act as structured by spousal love will mean that the norms governing human sexuality are not based on biological laws, but on the laws of love. Finally, Part II culminates in a reflection on the individual norms of sexual morality, showing how each of them follows the nature of spousal love. The precepts of the natural law are our guides to properly reverencing the sacred sphere of human sexuality, which is a condition for our flourishing as human persons.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135890534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
