An initial glimpse of great charity in St Luke's Hospital

The writer of this blog has taken up a new post as chaplain at St Luke's Hospital in Dublin's Rathgar.

First impressions: the initial hospitality and kindness of the staff is breathtaking. They simply could not be kinder. A wonderful experience of graciousness and charity. A real example of God at work in people.

God is alive and well in people and for clerics or any ministers of religion to imply that we are living in 'bad times' is an awful interpretation of reality.
