Chapter 36: The care of the sick in the monastery

The care of those who are sick in the community is an absolute priority, which must rank before every other requirement, so that there may be no doubt that it is Christ who is truly served in them. 
(From paragraph 1 of Chapter 36 of Saint Benedict's Rule.)

What this tells me today, is that even in my own weakness or sickness, I must remember Christ in me. Even if I'm feeling discouraged, I can still remember to relate with honor to the one who lives in my heart.
