چکیده

Sr. Talone is vice president, mission services, Catholic Health Association, St. Louis. esus works miracles in Catholic health care. He continues to work miracles every day through the faith, commitment, skills and dedication of women and men committed to his healing ministry. At a program jointly sponsored by the Catholic Health Association and the Center for Health Care Governance titled, "Holding in Trust: Catholic Health Care Governance," participants reflected upon this reality as they gathered for Eucharistic celebration on May 13, 2008, in Chicago. Fr. Donald Senior, CP, president of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and renowned scripture scholar, presided at liturgy and preached about scarcity and abundance in the day's scripture readings, particularly Mark 8:14-21. Fr. Senior's homily, starting on p. 45 , reflects the tension that all in Catholic health care feel today — the tension between the richness and excellence of our clinical services and the tensions we experience as we realize that all that we do is never enough.
