Join us at Theisen Hall 7pm on Wednesday, April 5for a presentation from Dr. Martin on “Compassion Fatigue”
The Lord’s steadfast, compassionate accompaniment is at the heart of a life-long and enriching journey of faith. His merciful love and our receptivity to it provides the disposition and template for loving our neighbors as ourselves. Yet we often struggle mightily to do so. Dr. Martin will address common psychological obstacles to loving God, neighbor, and self. Using numerous examples from his work as a clinical psychologist, he will also describe “compassion fatigue” in the home and school, and how to will the good of others yet neither be overwhelmed by others’ needs nor the demands of one’s own personal vocation.
Envelopes to order plants to adorn our altar at Easter can be found on the bulletin tables. $18.00 per name/plant. Deadline to order is April 4.
