Waiting Rooms of the Heart: Poems of a Health Care Chaplain Josie Rodríguez

The poems are very deep and moving, inspirational and positive. A collection like this could be placed in hospitals, hospices, churches, or waiting rooms in doctor's offices. -Fr. Barry Martinson, S. J. "What human reflections and wonderful expressions of pastoral care. Poems about her brother are very special. I am touched by her gentle spirit." -MaryLee Buess, Chaplain, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital, San Diego, California "For many years I have rejoiced in Josie's words, and the pauses between the words, which bring resonance to my own life experiences." -Fr. Bernard F. Cassidy, S. J., St. Francis Hospice, Honolulu, Hawaii "As a pediatric hospice nurse, I could relate so well to these poems. It is an honor to be able to work with families who are going through this journey with their child. Josie captured so well the feelings of these families and children. May you all share this experience through her poetry." -Karalee Davis, R. N.
