Our
Nurses Welcome all
who come to the
Nursing Specialty Group Site
|
Our vocation of
Nursing leads us to share in some of the most beautiful and
profound mysteries of life. We join all nurses in their
efforts to bring safe, competent and compassionate care to
our patients. We thank you for the many contributions to
Nursing.
There are many wonderful Nursing Organizations with
dedicated leaders; each has something special to offer its
members. Ours is no exception.
We stress spiritual
development and its integration in our daily and
professional life. Our daily prayer life is as important as
our knowledge base in meeting the needs of our patients.
Nothing can replace these moments of grace.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
Perhaps our greatest
distinction from other Nursing Organizations is our
integration of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We share a
common belief that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are
available to us today- with emphasis on the
Giver of
the Gifts.
We learn, participate, and teach the Christian Laying on of
Hands. Healing prayer is not about learning techniques. It
is about surrender to the Divine Healer, Jesus Christ. Like
St Frances of Assisi, we are His instruments. Healing occurs
through and because of Jesus Christ. We remain conscious of
Paul's teaching in Corinthians I: 13- if you have all the
gifts and not love you have gained nothing.
Multidisciplinary:
A great benefit for us
is the fullness of belonging to a multi-disciplinary
organization. We seek wholeness through holiness. Together
we strive to combine God's transforming grace and healing
prayer along with the benefits of many medical modalities to
achieve health and to move through the transitions of life.
We provide a safe harbor where we can rest and be refreshed
through supporting, empowering and witnessing to each other.
We walk together, believing in the healing power of Jesus
and we want to share it.
Ecumenical:
We believe in the love
of Abba Father and we desire to reflect the Compassionate
Heart of Jesus and embrace the Holy Spirit. This allows for
the flow of graces, love and the very fire of the Holy
Spirit that holds us together. We are Ecumenical, respecting
the gifts of many, as well as our different devotions and
faith traditions. Our organization is consecrated to the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We have both Roman Catholic and
Protestant worship services at our conferences. See
Ecumenical statement on the Home page.
Several ACT nurses were discussing with co- founder Barbara
Shelmon Ryan some of the hardships and frustrations that
nurses experience in the workplace. Barbara composed the
following litany for us:

We also encourage attending a Life in the Spirit Seminar
which maybe held at our conferences but also in the local
church communities. The seminar is designed to allow the
individual to receive a fuller experience of the work of the
Holy Spirit in one's life.
