The phrase “pastoral care beyond prayer” signifies a holistic approach to supporting individuals and families, especially during challenging times such as illness, grief, and end-of-life transitions. While prayer is undoubtedly a powerful and essential component of pastoral care, this concept encourages a more comprehensive and action-oriented involvement that addresses various dimensions of an individual's experience.
