"To accompany!" is the key phrase describing the chaplaincy ministry, said Father Tom Smith, O.S.Cam who tells of his views on this aspect of the priesthood, on page 7. One of the vital roles he says is: "Just being present to a low the patient to express fear, depression or anger - without attempting to give answers."

Father Tom Smith, O.S.Cam. is the second priest in our series of three chaplains whose special ministry within he priesthood, is ~are for the sick and dying within the hospital system. Having worked at Sir Charles Gardiner for the past six years, he has had a lot of experience in caring for their special needs:-

"If one was to describe the ministry of chaplain, it wou d be the words: To accompany," said Father Tom. Father Tom's whole life is steeped in caring because his home base is St John's presbytery, Subiaco parish which is run by his fe low Camillians. Pari h priest Father John Bredin has respon ~ibility for hospital work on a noncall basis (which means that the three priests ark on a one night in three, rotation basis).

I think also of several young people who have shared their musical talents with their parishes, both on a weekly basis and for special occasions. Students like Kim, who began to play the organ for our children's Masses in eighth grade and now plays regularly on Sundays; and Steve, who began playing in primary school and is now one of the best organists in the area; and the high school students who, once invited, enthusiastically combined organ, guitar, trumpet, nute and voice to make Christmas and Easter sound simply wonderful.

The Record, August 20, 1987

When you stop to think about it the concern shown in the Gospel by the centurion who dropped everything in order to find Jesus and obtain help for a sick servant is quite remari<able (Luke 7:2). After all, the centurion might have simply brought the servant's illness to the attention of his unit's medics - if there were any and then looked around for a replacement.

Jesus, uponhearing the centurion's story, also "dropped everything" and said: "I shall come and cure him" (Matthew 8:7). Here are two busy people, each rather prominent in his field, making themselves immediately and unselfishly available toe servant. Matthew calls the servant a "serving boy," someone. perhaps, who might haw ordered around. The incident reveals a great deal about Jesus and the officer. But it is interesting to reflect on what their attention meant to the stricken young man In a elihood, he did not have a very good self-image.

It is a lesson that can be applied by parents and youth ministers, the scripture scholar writes.
