CURA, COMPAIXÃO E CONVERSÃO Experiências na vida e na Bíblia

Abstract

The following research, offers a reading of the studies accomplished at the Hospital e Maternidade Jardim América, in Goiânia-GO, during the period of January 2000 to January 2001. The main reason for this search was the observations done with in-patients stay at several hospitals and that have presented different behaviors in the on going of the hospitalization period. These patients, most of the time, have changed their attitudes when they had received visitors that tried to comfort them with words and religious prayers. These patients have started to cope more and more with the therapeutics proposal and, this way, they early found the cure. In this present study we have tried to divide our work in four parts. Firstly, we provide a theoretical referencial that, we hope, might help and give subsidies to the patients in their incentive psychotherapy. Also, we try to lead these patients to find a certain sense in their lives. Then, it follows the interpretation and the anthropological analysis of the biblical texts and of how these people can understand them and, also use their message to improve the quality of their lives in the reality of these days . We continued our studies with the reading of how the patients face the disease, the pain and the suffering within an hospitalar institution. And to conclude our research, based on the texts of Luke s Gospel, mainly in the prodigal son s parable ( Lk 15: 11-32); we place Jesus Christ as the center of our life s project, for He was the One responsible for disseminating love, compassion and mercy through all the mankind.
