Event Description:
The Christian virtue of hope orients persons toward the God-given  happiness promised in heaven: indeed, toward God himself. But how does  this hope take shape in our lives now? This lecture will explore how the  sacraments of Jesus Christ are means toward heavenly bliss. The  Catholic sacraments are instruments of hope. Indeed, they give a taste  of heaven on earth. The lecture will give special attention to how these  Catholic realities apply to patients as well as to medical personnel in  their professional and personal lives.
