As Christian nurses, Jesus entrusts
each of us with an alabaster jar of precious oil
Ointment, or oil, appears frequently in the Bible. Regarded
as a sign of God's rich blessing, oil nourishes the body as
well as the soul.
As Christian nurses, Jesus entrusts each of us with an alabaster
jar of precious oil. We pour out this oil in daily acts of
mercy and physical care, as well as through spiritual care.
God gives us the privilege of breaking open the alabaster
jar of the Scriptures for people who face uncertainty, suffering
and death.
Sr. Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, SFCC, reveals,
in this comprehensive book, how the Scriptures have shaped
nursing from its beginning and continues to provide direction
and resources for nursing care.
