“Counseling is a great way to receive the proper care and help in a confidential setting. It can help build up the client’s resiliency, mange symptoms, and find lasting relief. In addition, when integrated with the Catholic faith, we can learn to view the tragedies, pains and sorrows of life through the lens of the cross. Jesus suffered, died and was raised from the dead so that we might have eternal life. He invites us to take up our cross and follow Him. He does not promise an easy life, but he does promise to make us strong where we are weak through the power of the Holy Spirit. I have witnessed this in action with my two friends growing up who had terminal cancer. They both united their pain to the cross of Christ and turned to constant prayer. Through this they had a joy that was contagious and shared the Catholic faith with hundreds who were inspired by their example.”
