Caesarius of Arles, on Ps 40:4

“The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.”

“God will heal you if only you admit your wound. You lie under the physician's hands; patiently implore his aid. If he bathes or burns or cuts it, bear it calmly; do not even pay any attention to it, provided you are cured. Moreover, you will be cured if you present yourself to the doctor. Not that he does not see you hide, but confession is the very beginning of restoration to health.”
