Kindness to the dying and visiting the old, sentence 3
Jesus said, «I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you visited me», and Christians see visiting the sick and old as serving him; the modern hospice was started by Cicely Saunders, a Christian nurse and doctor, in London in 1967, and people of every faith and none now support hospices.
Who acts: Jesus, you, Christians, Cicely, people · What happens: say, be, look, visit, see, serve · To what, where: prison, Jesus, sick, modern hospice, London, hospices · Speech: someone speaks here
