Sommario/riassunto

This book states the great need to sit down face to face and attentively listen to stories, experiences, and feelings of patients. These bedside encounters with patients can well inform the preacher and can result in more effective liturgical preaching in hospitals, hospice, prison, and nursing home settings.
