Feast of St. Luke the Physician and the updated Charter for Health Care Workers


Apparently just in time for the Feast of Saint Luke (10/18/17), an English translation of the updated Charter for Health Care Workers is now available.  In its original and beautiful Charter for Health Care Workers, the Vatican had made clear that
    this noble calling applies to "doctors, nurses, hospital chaplains, men and women religious, administrators, voluntary care givers for those who suffer, those involved in the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of human health....

    "To serve life is to serve God in the person: it is to become 'a collaborator with God in restoring health to the sick body'[16] and to give praise and glory to God in the loving welcome to life, especially if it be weak and ill.[17]....

    "the
    therapeutic ministry of health care workers is a sharing in the pastoral[21] and evangelizing[22] work of the Church....

    "In fidelity to the moral law, the health care worker actuates his fidelity to the human person whose worth is guaranteed by the law, and to God, Whose wisdom is expressed by the law....
    "The present charter wants to guarantee the ethical fidelity of the health care worker: the choices and behavior enfleshing service to life."
In reporting on the update earlier this year, Vatican Radio (2/6/17) noted that "The new references of the Magisterium, after 1994, that appear in the Charter are:
