I wrote this a couple of weeks ago on my last day of summer hospital chaplaincy but have taken some time to clean it up. Here you have it - enjoy! — Well, that’s a wrap. My summer chaplaincy (CPE - Clinical Pastoral Education) is finished. In case you haven’t heard, I did the first 6 weeks at a detention center in Reno, NV, and the final 5 weeks at a hospital in Chicago, IL. I’m sure I’ll be processing this for a long time and will come up with far more (or less) to say about it. But for now, here are my thoughts…
Beth read my mind and heart and spoke for the two of us. Your story is transformational to me because of your deep personal sharing. I will show up to my family differently. Could "Our job is to meet fellow sufferers at the end of themselves" be one flavor of Grace Incarnate?
Jonas, working in a hospital at this time is heroic. 🙏🏻
Dear Jonas- you are a light we need in this world. God's love is palatable when we approach life with humility.
Love, Dawn.
