Spiritual approach in care at La Lignière

Since its foundation in 1905, La Lignière has been committed to promoting a holistic approach to health, considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of each individual. We firmly believe in the importance of recognizing and addressing the physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs of our patients.

In line with this vision, we value freedom of thought and choice as essential values. Therefore, La Lignière offers respectful, welcoming, and tolerant spiritual support, allowing everyone to explore and nurture their spiritual dimension in an environment characterized by respect and openness.

THIS APPROACH IS EMBODIED IN OUR SPIRITUAL CHARTER :

Believing that every human being carries the image of God, regardless of their values and beliefs, we are committed to welcoming, respecting, and assisting them in restoring their health balance.

Following Jesus' invitation to relieve every person as a manifestation of Himself, we consider the act of physical or emotional relief as a spiritual attitude.

Viewing human beings as body, soul, and spirit, we consider health comprehensively in its biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.

Taking into account the principle of "Love God and your neighbor as yourself," we recognize that respecting others begins with self-respect, just as respecting God begins with respecting our neighbor.

Believing that the kingdom of God and the promise of eternity for human beings are rooted in the present life, we view the work towards health as a foretaste and testimony of hope in this kingdom.

Concerned with preserving the freedom and integrity of the individual, we commit to refraining from exerting any spiritual pressure or coercion.
