During the Black Death

During the black death there wer many such people who stayed offering prayers and comfort to the sick, even though they knew that such work was beyond dangerous. Almost all of those people's names are lost to history, not least because chroniclers then as now, were more concerned with the cruelties than with the kindness. But among the accompaniers was the surgeon gy de chuliac, who stayed in avignon as his boss, pope clement the sixth, fled. It is true that our current horrors are precedented, but so is our determination and our commitment to others.
