Do you know the story of Doubting Thomas? He recognizes the risen Jesus by the scars on his palms. Scars remain on the body and in the soul, visible and invisible, signs of experienced and endured distress. They are part of the life story, especially for older people. Healing comes with the wounds. This is the underlying theme of the 22 service outlines in this collection, each consisting of Bible verses with interpretations, psalms, and song suggestions. The units can be used as a tested resource for pastoral practice in nursing homes and hospitals, for community and senior work, or as a devotional book for personal reading.
