Health care professionals are working over overtime everywhere. They face very steep challenges and deep shortages. Pope Francis has called nurses “experts in humanity.” Doctors, and all “medical caregivers and the authorities…are pillars, who help us go forward, and defend us in this crisis.”
Hospital chaplains are vital caregivers, too. They are having to protect themselves and the patients they serve by praying “through glass” instead of personal contact. Chaplains are attending more to medical staffs. America Magazine published brief accounts of four chaplains in different areas in the United States.
