Abstract
Paul Farmer dedicated his life to making the fruits of modern medicine available to the poorest people in the world. Working untiringly for over four decades, his groundbreaking model and successful outcomes were widely recognized and respected. An often-asked question is what motivated Dr. Farmer’s unfailing commitment to the poor people he so lovingly served. This chapter explores the ways in which the Christian narrative and the Pascal mystery grounded Farmer’s religious and moral imagination and guided his life and work. Deeply influenced by the parable of the Good Samaritan and the Corporal Works of Mercy, this chapter describes Farmer’s eschatological vision and his deep desire to bring about the Kingdom of God in the here and now.
