Good article. It's unfortunate though this needs to be explicitly spelled out and underlined in our time and our culture, for in other times or other cultures I suspect it'd be more obvious how central spiritual care is in disease and dying.
At the same time, I suppose it's one of the many ravages of secularism that our society ill considers providing vital spiritual resources for the sick. Who knows how many thousands if not millions have been left to spiritually dry out or rot on their hospital beds in the wake of secular "ethics" and the like?
