He lives his religion

THE EDITOR: While I cannot claim that Dr Richard Clerk’s belief in Corpus Christi is also my own, I have every sympathy with his protest because he lives his life according to the teachings of his Catholic religion, giving freely of his time and expertise to the poor, the sick, and the dying. (TV6 in poor taste, July 5 ’03).

Such is the dedication of the good doctor and Matron Gloria Maul, they treated and nursed my mother-in-law who had breast cancer, without even being asked, when they saw the sad state that we, her family, were incompetent to cope with. She was very happy and contented in her last days at Living Waters on Warner Street, a charitable organisation relying solely on donations. All the helpers treat the patients with great respect, kindness, and I would add, affection. If all those who profess belief in a God by simply attending Sabbath services were to actually live their lives according to their religions principles, this world would be a far better place.
