- Christianity
Pastoral care in the hospital setting is one of the most significant ways Christians can continue the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ. As the hospital chaplain, Sister Margie Schmidt provides support to patients, family, and staff members during times of overwhelming fear, anger, and grief.
We previously met Sister Margie in September when she gave us insight into her “unconventional” life living outside the Monastery walls. In this episode, you’ll hear about the importance of staying present to people’s suffering and how the deep human connections she forms during these moments allows her to continue to provide support in some of the most difficult and personal times of people’s lives.
