Many triggers for shame that lead to physician burnout occur during patient care or the medical learning environment. Many resilience programs are available to medical students and physicians, yet incorporate non-faith principles. The Little Way as developed by St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus would be a most effective way to incorporate spirituality into our daily duties. This article will explain the need for physician resilience and virtue ethics within our profession. Then, the article will describe the Little Way and apply its principles to healthcare to implement a faith-based approach to physician resilience.

The postmodern world upholds autonomy as its greatest value, and thus prioritizes the healthy and independent. This view is flawed insofar as dependency is not equivocal to helplessness, but instead is the virtue of properly ordering one's individual life within broader society and, ultimately, in relation to God himself. Understood properly as a virtue cultivated through particular actions, genuine dependency avoids the vicious extremes of radical individualism and radical helplessness. Instead, it enables man to experience fulfillment through the development of an authentic personality in the context of a “relational subjectivity” that aims towards the common good, yet always respects the dignity of each individual human person.

Responding to Pope John Paul II's call to give the “ethical grounds and personalistic reasons” behind the Church's teaching on sexual morality, this reflection written over the span of two articles analyzes the norms of the natural law related to human sexuality from a personalist perspective. The key ideas of this study are drawn from two passages: one from Gaudium et spes which states that “The sexual characteristics of man and the human faculty of reproduction wonderfully exceed the dispositions of lower forms of life”, the other from Humanae vitae stating that “Conjugal love reveals its true nature and nobility when it is considered in its supreme origin, God, who is love … and it is of supreme importance to have an exact idea of these.” (9) Drawing on the analysis of parts I and II shows, first, that the spousal act is in its original structure an “embodying act” intrinsically fashioned to embody spousal love: the self-donation, the intimacy, and the fruitfulness proper to the spirit's act of love animates the bodily act of sex from within, so that the spirit and the body form “one thing” in the spousal act. Secondly, this truth about the spousal act as structured by spousal love will mean that the norms governing human sexuality are not based on biological laws, but on the laws of love. Finally, Part II culminates in a reflection on the individual norms of sexual morality, showing how each of them follows the nature of spousal love. The precepts of the natural law are our guides to properly reverencing the sacred sphere of human sexuality, which is a condition for our flourishing as human persons.
教皇约翰·保罗二世呼吁教会在性道德方面的教导背后给出“伦理依据和个人原因”,这篇由两篇文章组成的反思文章从个人主义的角度分析了与人类性行为有关的自然法规范。本研究的主要观点来自两个段落:一个来自Gaudium et spe即“人的性特征和人类的繁殖非常超过降低生命形式”的性情,另从Humanae vitae称“夫妻恩爱揭示其本质和贵族被认为是最高的起源、上帝,谁是爱…是最高的重要性有一个准确的认识。(9)根据对第一部分和第二部分的分析,首先,配偶行为在其原始结构中是一种“体现行为”,本质上是为了体现配偶之爱:自我奉献,亲密,以及精神的爱的行为所特有的结果,从内部激活了身体的性行为,因此精神和身体在配偶行为中形成了“一体”。其次,配偶行为是由配偶之爱构成的,这一真理意味着支配人类性行为的规范不是基于生物法则,而是基于爱的法则。最后,第二部分在对性道德的个体规范的反思中达到高潮,展示了他们每个人如何遵循配偶之爱的本质。自然法则的戒律是我们正确尊重人类性的神圣领域的指南,这是我们作为人类繁荣的一个条件。

Despite our being created in right relationship with the Sabbath and holy time, we often have a dysfunctional relationship with rest, time, and ceasing. Our dysfunctional relationship with time, our hurriedness, has created an illness: “hurry sickness.” In medicine, our hurry sickness is often transformed into a supposed virtue we call efficiency. As a surgical resident, I am evaluated on and celebrated for my efficiency. If hurry and efficiency have created an illness, what is our remedy? Theologians propose the Sabbath as the cure to our hurry sickness. The Sabbath is the proper treatment but cannot be traditionally observed by most surgical trainees. Therefore, I explore elements of the Sabbath that can be practiced by surgical residents.
