Hehe. I think there's a few people on this board with Messiah complexes then!

"All will be revealed to us, one day".

Yeah, it will, one day. Until that point, no matter how assured we all are in our faiths, we won't really know until that day. That's why we're all best off not trying to push our beliefs on other people. I can't see how the nurse didn't do exactly that in an environment where prayer was either necessary or appropriate.

If this was a hospice run by nuns or something, I wouldn't have a problem with it as this kind of behaviour would have probably been expected and probably wanted. As it was, old people in their own homes and such, unless there was crucifixes or religious icons around the home, the nurse was probably best off keeping her (well-meaning) mouth shut about religion and prayed for them in her own space.
