The novel Corona virus, known as Covid-19, has created a crisis that has had a significant negative impact on the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of people across the globe. For some, the impact has been more of an inconvenience than a crisis. For others, the impact has been severe, even traumatic, as they wrestle with the consequences of this disease. This webinar will attempt to help participants understand how they might use the opportunity of this pandemic to actually grow through this experience by focusing on what psychologists call Post-Traumatic Growth. The workshop will outline the factors that hinder such growth as well as the factors that facilitate this growth.

Thursday, March 18, 2021

En la vida humana es imposible decir que nunca va a haber división, pero siempre va a ser posible la reconciliación como camino de sanación integral y de paz, la reconciliación es el resultado de una experiencia que nace del amor y de la entrega generosa. La reconciliación de la mano de la integración nos invita a poner cada uno su parte para que todo este coordinado según el plan de Dios.

La reconciliación nos invita a estar en procesos de encuentro, de salir de sí mismo para encontrar en el otro la confianza, dicho de otra es devolver la confianza, es darse la oportunidad para volver a empezar y no hacerlo solo, sino de la mano de Dios. La figura más patente de la reconciliación está en Dios que ha tomado la iniciativa para hacer la distancia más corta a través de la donación de su Hijo Jesucristo. Reconciliar es abrir el corazón a la posibilidad de encontrar una dimensión nueva de sí mismo.

In human life it is impossible to say that there will never be division, but reconciliation will always be possible as a path of integral healing and peace, reconciliation is the result of an experience that is born of love and generous self-giving. Reconciliation hand in hand with integration invites us each to put his part so that everything is coordinated according to God’s plan.

Reconciliation invites us to be in processes of encounter, to go out of ourselves to find trust in the other, said of another is to return trust; it is to give ourselves the opportunity to start over and not do it alone, but hand in hand with God. The most obvious figure of reconciliation is in God who has taken the initiative to make the shortest distance through the donation of his Son Jesus Christ. Reconciling is opening the heart to the possibility of finding a new dimension of oneself.
