  • Honoring the Giver by Loving His Gifts: How the Temperaments Teach Us Gratitude and Patience w/Sr Ann Dominic
    Knowing and understanding the four temperaments provides a context in how to best grow in personal holiness and be patient with ourselves during the process of becoming saints. This talk aims to help young people recognize more clearly their God given strengths and weaknesses and provide practical tools on how to navigate challenges that occur when working with people with contrary gifts. The goal of studying the four temperaments leads us to greater freedom to be who God made us to be and to give thanks to God for making us who we are.
