Someone
sent me an article in the NYT (September 22, 2012 A21) "A Doctor's Ministry, Bridging Science and Spirit"
- which is extraordinary. Journalist
Samuel G. Freedman quotes Dr. Joseph Dutkowsky of New York-Presbyterian/Columbia: "Some people stand next
to the ocean to feel the presence of God. I get to see the likeness of God
every day. I see children with some amazing deformities. But God doesn't make
mistakes. So they are the image." He
goes on: "For years, when asked
why I chose this profession, I had no good answer until I came upon
the first chapter of the Gospel of John. Jesus and
his disciples come upon a man who was blind from birth. The disciples
asked Jesus, 'Did this man or his parents sin that he was born blind?' Jesus answered that the blindness was not the result of the man or his
parents' sin. The man was born blind 'so the glory of God might be
revealed.' Every day in my work I find myself in the revealed glory of
God.'"
