Heart Matters: Spiritual Resilience and the Common Good

Spiritual resilience is the ability to maintain a sturdy positive spirit and clear sense of purpose and meaning even in the face of adversity. Emotions like gratitude, trust, compassion, awe and hope sustain us and give us the strength to reach out and help others. Research shows that even five-minute spiritual practices can contribute to our resilience. These habits are adaptable for people from a wide range of faith traditions as well as for those who see life from a secular perspective.
