Information is due by noon on Thursdays one week prior to publication. Pastor Column The Ministry of Presence Imam Kifah Mustapha Prayer Center of Orland Park Weakness and vulnerability are characteristics of all human beings. Aside from our unique God-given coping abilities, we could never survive hardships in life alone. We tend to look for support to help us cope with tests and trials we encounter in life. A person of faith will always feel the companionship of his Lord in knowledge, compassion, mercy and kindness. But such companionship was meant to be demonstrated in the presence of people around you in a status called the Ministry of Presence. In the Islamic tradition, such understanding was clearly stated by God to one of his servants, “O son of Adam, I was ill but you did not visit Me!” The servant would say, “O Lord, how could I visit You and You are the Lord of the worlds?” God would say, “Did you not know that so and so was a servant of Mine and was ill but you did not visit him? Did you not realize that if you had visited him you would have found Me with him?” The idea that God likened the pain of illness in His servant to Himself, and that through the compassion of another human being, visiting the bedside in support, the servant would have found God there. It is indeed a very powerful message for those truly seeking to find God and be with Him. Humanity owes one another support in times of calamities and hardships, if they claim they are truly seekers of God. With such understanding of the power of the Ministry of Presence, each one of us can become a blessed person. A mother caring for her baby in the middle of the night, an older sibling helping his younger sibling with homework, a youth volunteering at a senior home, a family hosting refugees from areas ravaged by war or a friend visiting another friend during illness are all on that path of finding God. During my tenure in chaplaincy, I learned in clinical pastoral education about the Ministry of Presence and its importance in being next to people, offering them comfort during moments of grief. But I truly believe a ministry of being present is not limited to an individual level during moments of hardships or loss. It extends to communities and nations, as well. These days, when communities are being attacked because of race, creed or religion, isn’t it time to practice the Ministry of Presence so that God will be there for us?
