Do not forget the sick and the elderly. Do not abandon the handicapped and the seriously ill. Do not relegate them to the margins of society. If you do this, you ignore the fact that they embody an important truth. The sick, the elderly, the handicapped, and the infirm teach us that weakness is a creative part of human life and that suffering can be accepted without the loss of dignity....The wisdom of Christ and the power of Christ are visible in the weakness of those who participate in his sufferings.
- Pope John Paul II
