Jack Geracci is a native of Northeastern Pennsylvania.  He has served in ministry for over 50 years as a registered nurse, former Catholic priest, and palliative care chaplain.  Today he serves as an ACPE Certified Educator and Spiritual Director.  First drawn to the mystery of suffering as a young nurse, Jack’s spiritual journey has been enriched by accompanying others as a contemplative listener.  Drawing from the wisdom of ancient and contemporary mystics, Jack holds that consenting to God’s presence within the Other is foundational to contemplative listening as well as seeking to rest in emptiness and openness while accompanying the seeker.  Jack invites all who hold the stories of others to reflect upon how living with contemplative awareness can enrich their service to others as well as their personal spiritual journey.
