| Introduction | A common person called to respond to "a calling that is bigger than himself" A former ER RN & Brother Religious and now an Oncology Clinician, Zeke has always been drawn to do more than what are required by titles and job descriptions. Zeke is drawn to ministering from the heart. He believes in the mysterious interconnectedness of the body-mind-spirit and in the mystical reality of faith and life. Thus, he is drawn to be more fully immersed in and nourished by all things that are life giving. He longs to live life in abundance, i.e., to live a life that is deeply grounded in God's everflowing fullness and is willing to be God's source of life to others. He strongly believes that in whatever we do, even how simple they are, as in a loving glance, a gentle touch and a warming smile, can make a lot of difference in the people that we meet in our daily lives and in the broken world that we live in. In the process, he firmly believes that we become transformed into the likeness of our Creator. We expand our capacity for goodness and and become genuine God's bearers of loving kindness to others, especially to those people that we touch in our daily lives and ministries. |
