The Ministry of Presence
Commentators explain that Ezekiel's seven days of silent sitting was a profound act of empathy. By choosing to "sit where they sat," he entered into their suffering before speaking a word. This demonstrates that a powerful form of ministry is simply being present with those who are grieving, showing solidarity in their sorrow.
