What is a hospitable chaplain?

Being a Hospital Chaplain with emotions, with sleeplessness, with limitations but above all with the passion to accompany people who still do not identify themselves as brothers in faith, the same love of God flashes in their eyes and in their tone of voice.
Come to understand that a caregiver must be healthy and must maintain both physical health, psychic, spiritual very good, makes necessary the existence of a support network which sustains your emotions and keeps you firm in the fulfillment of your mission.

What was your most valuable learning from the diploma?

Thinking about comprehensive training, what I learned about the axis of BEING comes to my mind, and how that allows me to have a much clearer vision of why I am what I am?, Why do I say what I say?, Why do I feel what I feel?.

All this analysis allowed me to be intentional in seeking help to properly resolve my griefs and losses that had put them on hold for a long time.. These tools acquired regarding the axis of BEING and healing the inner child allow me to have an easier and clearer path to be able to contribute to society some love and peace to those who are in need of care and affection.
