Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Paul to the Ephesians 4: 1-3 I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.
and from
St. Augustine In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.
These quotes show the value of Therapeutic touch. Therapeutic touch is a great way to live Excellence, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Excellence, and take a closer look at how Therapeutic touch brings it to life.
Excellence
Excellence means, high standards of service and performance.
We know there are many ways to live with Stewardship; so let's focus on just one, Therapeutic touch.
Therapeutic touch
Remaining gentle in the presence of others
So, let's ask ourselves this question...
What does gentleness have to do with excellence?
I'd like to invite us all to make Therapeutic touch a reality in our lives today by...
Bringing unity in struggles through a gentle approach.
Therapeutic touch isn't new to CHRISTUS Health, in fact, we see this same type of Excellence in our heritage...
At Christus Good Shepherd, a doctor is committed to excellence. He explains things to his patients in detail in order to provide the best possible care. He does not judge our patients for their (bad) habits, but looks for a way to replace them with new habits. This has also helped the staff unite with him to help the patient heal.
Gentle Jesus, You prayed to your Father, asking that we be united. Please accomplish that prayer in each of us. Help me use a gentle approach when a struggle arises and become an instrument of unity. Thank you for showing me the way. Amen.
