MONONA — Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Parish will present Robert Enright, Ph.D., founder and president of the International Forgiveness Institute, giving a presentation on forgiveness on Sunday, March 16, at 5101 Schofield St. A light lunch will be served from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Dr. Enright’s presentation from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
Learn how the power of forgiveness can change your life and the world. Dr. Enright’s book, The Forgiving Life, offers scientifically supported guidance to help people forgive those in their lives who have acted unfairly and have inflicted emotional hurt. Forgiveness does not minimize the devastation of that hurt or require reconciliation with the one who inflicted the hurt. Rather, it describes a process, followed with success by people around the world, to confront the pain; rise above it to forgive; and loosen the grip of the depression, anger, and resentment that have soured life.The Forgiving Life, will be available for purchase at $16 or can be ordered from Amazon.com People attending the event can also register for a Tuesday evening Lenten book discussion group.
