I was in Houston Texas this weekend at a conference on Religion and Medicine. On Saturday evening there was the premier screening of a film entitled “Your Health: A Sacred Matter.” It will view on PBS in May and Michelle and I are in it as are some of Michelle’s team members as well as members of our parish. You can see the trailer at the following web site. You can also check the web site as to when it will be shown in your area. yourhealthasacredmatter.com

This film was lovely and makes one realize that our health IS a sacred matter. So, medicine and health care needs to come out of the political arena and into a different place in our minds; that encompasses making our health care a need, a right, an obligation, a commitment for us as humans to care for one another.
