More Description

The book, The Compassionate Christ, tells of the hospital chaplain of his encounter of the Power of God that is the power of love reveals in his day-to-day routine at the hospital. The book contains reflections, stories and psalm prayers. In his reflections, the chaplain tells the spiritual passwords he discovers himself in dealing with the sick and the grieving families and friends. It tells the story of sickness, pain and suffering, of frustrations, failures and death, yet it also tells the story of faith, of hope, miracle and love. That is, in trial and in sickness, God mysteriously visits and consoles the sick. The hospital is a testimony of the fraternal love, of the professional loving and caring acceptance of the patient by the chaplains, doctors, nurses and others who work at the hospital to preserve the gift of life and its dignity and their commitment to uplift the quality and sanctity of life. We are all called to witness and carry out an important mission and service to the sick and to the people of God that really demands self-denial and spirit of sacrifice. It is the calling and mission of the chaplain to bring the compassionate and loving Christ to every wounded person he encounters, especially the sick, lost, hopeless and dying at the hospital.
