Il significato della cura: l'intervento di Padre Bormolini

The Meaning of Care for Body, Mind, and Spirit: A Deep Reflection on the Care Relationship and the Human Value of Accompanying People During Illness. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Madre Fortunata Toniolo Nursing Home in Bologna, Father Guidalberto Bormolini offers a talk dedicated to the authentic meaning of "caring." In a healthcare context often focused on efficiency and healing, the speaker invites us to rediscover care as a relationship, presence, and attention to the whole person. Through an approach that integrates physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, the talk highlights the difference between healing and curing: while healing is not always possible, care always is, because it stems from "caring" for the other. Particular attention is paid to the spiritual need that emerges in moments of fragility and to the role of those who provide care, called upon to undertake an inner journey to offer an authentic and transformative relationship. This presentation is part of the "Curare col cuore" (Healing with the Heart) event, promoted by the Toniolo Nursing Home, and represents a significant contribution to the humanization of medicine and comprehensive personal care. 00:00 - The Meaning of Care and the Power of Words 06:41 - Care as the Heart of Civilization 13:50 - The Spiritual Need in Illness 20:23 - The Spiritual Roots of Humanity 26:43 - Caring for Oneself to Care for Others 34:48 - Communion, Love, and Rejoicing
