Description

All are welcome to this 6-session study on handling stress & worry. Class will meet on Wednesday mornings, 9-10:30 a.m. September 7-October 12 in the St Petronille parish office. We live in a day and age characterized by an extraordinary amount of agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us all too often in our lives? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care? Two books will guide our discussions: • Searching for and Maintaining Peace: a Small Treatise on Peace of Heart by Fr. Jacque Phillipe • From Worry to Wonder: a Catholic Guide to Finding Peace Through Scripture by Melissa Overmyer "Searching For and Maintaining Peace" by Fr. Jacque Phillipe can be purchased here "From Worry to Wonder" by Melissa Overmyer can be purchased here. Please purchase both books before class begins on Wednesday, September 7.
