Chaplaincy Corner

Chaplain Dale created this reflective space around the Chapel with the Stations of the Cross over Easter–a sacred time for Christians as they remember the death and resurrection of Christ. It is a story of hope that has inspired us for over 2000 years. However, it can also be a time of spiritual renewal and reflection for all Faiths or none–a time to celebrate our shared humanity, to show love to each other. And what a wonderful community of caring we have at Macquarie Hospital! The fundraising team (pictured at Gloria Boicheska’s farewell) organised bundles of Easter eggs for each consumer.

And Seamus McMahon kindly supplied Easter buns for the Chapel’s Easter Service. This altruistic ethos was endorsed by Mahatma Gandhi who said: 'The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.' And Mother Teresa who said: 'We can do no great things, only small things with great love.' And from Betty Reese (American officer and pilot) comes an encouraging reminder (and, after a sleepless night, I concur!): “If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.”
