Devotion

 

A friend sent me a remarkable video. It's only two minutes long, but it tells an epic story. The centrepiece of the upload is a visual representation of an event in Leeds in 1956. I don't know if it is a photograph or an AI render, you can hardly tell the difference these days; but either way it has astonished and moved me. It depicts nurses on an open-plan ward kneeling down around a table at their station starting their shift by saying a group prayer for their patients. The narrator then explains in a poetic style, with ecclesiastical chanting in the background, how actions like these used to be sacred. Nursing used to be a job traditionally done by nuns. These actions were not just religious; they were an expression of patriotism and a love of the nation's people. This has now of course changed beyond all recognition. In just the space of a few decades it has become "an illegal act, one that could bring its participants into direct conflict with the regime." Did he know the story of Sarah Kuteh too? See: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2016/12/nurse-sacked-for-praying.html. We now have a "profane" authority that feeds us cultural Marxism and greedy corporations that sell medical treatments that kill; and then they cover their arses in corrupt courts.

I left the following comment on the video that the creator gave a heart: "I'm a former hospital porter with 23 years service and this short video stunned me. A nurse was actually sacked for praying recently. Sarah Kuteh, an ITU sister."
