SUMMARY:Simple Ways to Find Humility in Daily Life
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 11\, 7-8:30pm \nWith Fr. Charlie Brunick\, CSP \nOur culture frequently uses the terms “pride” and “self-confidence” interchangeably. Pride is the satisfaction we get from achievements. Self-confidence is the trust we have in our abilities and judgment to handle something. Humility\, however\, is a modest view of one’s importance\, acknowledging the needs of others as greater than our own. You can have both self-confidence and humility. You cannot have both pride and humility.  Join Fr. Charlie as he explores this virtue along with the simple ways and benefits of building humility into our daily lives.   CFD:   Spirituality      ($10 donation requested.) \nGive Now by Selecting Quick Give or pay at class.  \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Humility”]
