[External] Bearing Witness to Other’s Pain with Compassion, Cranaleith Spiritual Center

Bearing Witness to Other’s Pain with Compassion

November 1, 2025, Cranaleith Spiritual Center, Philadelphia, PA

The sacred privilege of listening to others’ pain—whether through illness, loss, trauma, or life’s profound transitions—can be both deeply meaningful and spiritually demanding. Those who companion others in their suffering often struggle with the weight of what they hold. This reflective day offers chaplains, counselors, and spiritual directors the space to pause, breathe, and acknowledge how the sorrows of others touch and shape their inner life.

Our guide for the day, Jack Geracci, ACPE Certified Educator and Spiritual Director, brings deep wisdom drawn from 50 years of service as a registered nurse, former Catholic priest, and palliative care chaplain. With gentleness and depth of spirit, Jack will invite participants to reflect on how living with contemplative awareness can enrich both the care you offer and your personal spiritual journey.
