MASTER OF CHAPLAINCY STUDIES
Lesson 10-the listener.
I grew up in church and at a very young age, I was always happy to see my priest at the end of each mass go in front of the church's door to greet and give blessings to everyone especially the children. I thought that was a very good thing even though I didn't understand. But to us the priest represented Jesus every one can't wait for the priest to touch them; people will wait online until they've been touched. On my part, I didn't really know about chaplain at that time, but believe a chaplain is an ambassador of god which I'm very excited know to called chaplain that's why this course is very important to me and as a divine person I would think is a right thing to do, because sometimes the when you pray and hold hands that send the message directly from the you and the person. We did that so much before and after worship, everyone held hands and kissed each other. It's a powerful method to transfer the blessing. Now this time things have changed because of what happened to women that push for precaution to avoid issues. I remember I went to my local community bank last year, there was a member I didn't see to greet as I always do, when I asked about this member, they told me she was sick, twisting her ankle. The following week I went back there, she was the first person to greet me by saying; hi Dr. Pierre, I replied, Hi, I was asking about you? She told me that she didn't feel any better. I asked her to tell me. She invited me to her office and showed me the swelling foot and told me that it was twisted. I asked her if I could pray with her and touch the twisted foot and she said yes. I did and next following week she called me in her office again to thank me for praying. I said to her the Lord did it and she should thank the Lord instead. Just like touching a baby to stop the crying is the same for a wife or husband, that you bring comfort to this person.
I love my chaplaincy course.
