"Chaplaincy is, ultimately, listening. There’s a lot of doing and saying and other things to be sure, but it has to start with listening. If I can listen to the person and hear her story, I may find that it resonates with my own. When I communicate to the person that I heard them – not just the words but the meaning and feeling in them – that affirms the other and encourages them to say more. As we continue to engage each other, the hermeneutical spiral continues, and we both are enriched by it." Samuel Blair
Sacred Texts: Faith and Life Among the Dying chronicles just a few of the stories of faith, loss and courage encountered in Samuel Blair’s over twenty-year career serving as a hospice Chaplain. The author weaves these accounts together with scripture to show how these individuals revealed the sacred more fully to him, in hopes that others can benefit from their stories of faith as well. May you be encouraged to see the sacred not only in the sacred texts you encounter in your devotional reading, but in the sacred texts you meet walking along the path with you.
