That’s how Sister Kateri Schrems characterizes her ministry on the Pastoral Care Team at Marywood Health Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“We are allowed, not just asked, to become a part of people’s lives when they are most vulnerable,” says Sister Kateri. “It is a gift to be called upon and so I approach each person I meet with reverence, honoring all that they are.”
“Sometimes our presence may be a nod, eye contact, sharing a thought, or sharing moments in prayer,” she said. “Sometimes all that is needed is someone to share silence with.”
“Our presence here comes from the presence of God in the world; what a blessing that each person is able to be that.”
