Paper concludes with an answer to the question suggested by the Practicum/Internship.

Engendering a sense of compassionate Presence, the underlying expression of these Pastoral Way Stations, is associated with growth in appreciation of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 1-12) and Paul's descriptive definition of love found in 1 Corinthians 12, 31-13, 8.
