Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Rev Ruth Scott, an Anglican vicar in Richmond.

听

At the weekend I bumped into a friend I hadn鈥檛 seen for a while. Last year her grandson was critically ill and required intensive long-term hospital care. Her husband was so grateful to the NHS for saving his grandson鈥檚 life he wanted to do more than simply send a thank you card and flowers. Last week he went into hospital to donate one of his own kidneys in gratitude for what they鈥檇 done. He鈥檚 recovering now at home and somewhere in London a woman he doesn鈥檛 know, is alive because she鈥檚 been given his kidney. I鈥檓 blown away by what he鈥檚 done, and why he did it. In recent times we鈥檝e heard much about NHS staff who鈥檝e failed to give patients the care they need. Yet there are far more doctors and nurses, often working under severe stress, who on a daily basis continue to save lives, heal sick patients and support those who are dying. The bad news stories mask their great work and so today I want to honour them. I鈥檓 also conscious that despite being one of the wealthiest nations in the world, too many of us find it too easy to grumble about what we think is going wrong in our society. I sometimes think those who complain the most are the ones who do the least to help put things right, so I also want to also honour people like my friend whose gratitude for what they鈥檝e experienced leads them to extraordinary acts of self-giving generosity. In one of his famous prayers, the 16th century saint, Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, asked God to teach him, 鈥榯o give and not to count the cost鈥�. This isn鈥檛 about not taking seriously the sometimes major personal consequences of what we do for the sake of others. It鈥檚 about having the courage to pay the price because you see a greater need that you can meet. Chris, I don鈥檛 know if I could do as my friend has done, but I find his example profoundly moving, greatly inspiring and deeply challenging.
