Jesus’ Healing Ministry: Kingdom Proclamation Today. Leonard S.

Jesus Christ proclaimed the Kingdom of God through his teachings, miraculous signs, and healing ministry, demonstrating compassion and care for all. Continuing this mission, the Catholic Church extends the compassionate ministry of Jesus to the sick, a legacy upheld notably in the United States through Catholic healthcare initiatives like Bon Secours Mercy Health, which has a robust presence in Ohio. Through deliberate and compassionate interactions in outpatient settings, patients, families, and staff encounter this ministry as a tangible expression of the Kingdom of God among us. The Doctor of Ministry project explores the impact of short, daily, mission-focused formation experiences on employees of Mercy Health outpatient facilities. These initiatives aim to enhance employees’ commitment to living out the values of compassion and service, fostering personal growth and contributing to the Kingdom of God through their dedicated care for all individuals. Evidence from a pre- and post-program survey indicates significant positive growth among participants in understanding and embodying the mission and core values, particularly the inherent dignity of every person, within their workplace.
