James 1: 19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
and from
St. John Paul II None of us is alone in this world. Each of us is a vital piece of the great mosaic of humanity as a whole.

At Christus Good Shepherd, we have an associate that you can talk to about almost anything. He is always willing to listen and is a person that you know you can lean on in a time of need. He talks with patients or family members and is the first person called when it comes to ethics questions.
Dear Jesus, When someone speaks, please help me receive them without judgement. I pray I can help them feel comfortable to speak freely, listen carefully and feel heard. Amen.
