SUMMARY:The Virtue of Resilience
DESCRIPTION:With Fr. Bill Edens\, C.S.P. \nLife’s many challenges create the small deaths and rebirths that characterize human life.

In this session we learn how to utilize the skills of recruiting\, reframing\, and resolving in building the virtue of resilience and finding the healing that will make us whole.
