By Sister Malia Dominica Wong, OP HOSPICE HOSPITAL HOSPICE Hawaii Catholic Herald

Chaplains serve on the front lines. They go where ordinary ministers don’t always go: hospital emergency rooms, hospices, war zones, military bases, pris- ons, police stations, schools, the halls of Congress. Whenever they are called, no matter the time of day, or how tired or hungry they may be, they respond, ready to bring spiritual aid and comfort to those most in need. ‘It is all very powerful’ ‘No one dies alone’ ‘Sister, please pray for me’ I remember the advice of the late Ho- nolulu Police Department chaplain Sister By Father Victor Lanuevo By Sister Mary Rose Atuu, LSMIG By Sister Marykutty Kottuppallil, MSMHC Roberta Julie Marie Derby, of the Sisters The joy of being a chaplain in hospice My father was a health assistant who There are people who are angry.

This story confronts us with our own potential and with our responsibility as disciples. The growth of the mustard seed from the moment of being planted, to budding, to full maturity is inevitable. The Beatitudes It is God’s will and God’s plan, unfolding in nature. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Belonging to God, planted by God, it will become the greatest of all plants. In our humanity, we are small, and we are limited. Still, God wills us to be great and mighty in our holiness, to grow into the strength and majesty of the fully developed bush. This is God’s will and God’s plan. We, however, must make of ourselves the rich produce to be gathered by God in the great harvest that will come at the Last Judgment. Reflection The church in these readings brings us to face that event common to all things living but rarely acknowledged and always feared by humans, death, loss of life on this earth, the source of ultimate dread. Never denying death or belittling the will to sur- vive, the church, as the teacher of genuine truth, places in context life, death and survival. It presents this teaching in these readings. Earthly life is not the be all and end all, whether we believe it or not. Life shall endure after physical death. What will this mean? It is a question to be answered personally, deep from within each heart. It will mean everlasting life — if we live now with God. The choice quite simply belongs individually to each of us.

Dad just wants to hog the remote control, crack a few crass jokes and drink a cold one. He’s not nurturing, caring or involved. He’s not devoted to his wife, children or grandchildren. But think about the fathers you know. Chances are they defy such silly typecasting. They’re washing Spiritualife dishes and changing diapers. They’re sacrificing to pay for college or moving to be near grandkids. Many men today are redefining what it means to father.
