Chrysostom
Humble Servant of All
Cease from your anxious worry over this foot, for such fretting profits nothing and only adds a self-inflicted torment to the pain he already bears. Does not your heavenly Father, who feeds the birds and clothes the grass, know your need? He grants healing often more fully when we cast our care upon Him rather than when we grasp it tightly. Trust, then, in His providence, and do not let your heart be beggarly or little-minded, as if you walked to a fountain yet feared thirst.
But while we pray for his body, attend also to your own soul and conduct, for a wife’s true power to help her husband lies not in anxious suggestions or outward fuss, but in the inward virtues of gentleness, meekness, and propriety. In his weakness, let your quiet patience and modest service be a healing balm beyond any medicine. Do not irritate him with your fears, but win him by a calm and orderly spirit. There is a snare in thinking that great displays of concern or even religious austerity in such a time are the highest devotion; what God honors is your faithful, unobtrusive care that does not despise the natural bonds of marriage but sanctifies them.
We will indeed lift up this affliction in prayer, that the Lord who made the foot and knows its every sinew may restore it swiftly. Meanwhile, let your love be shown in that meek submission which is precious in God's sight, and let no anxious cloud dim the quiet trust that befits a Christian wife.
