Diane Rice

True joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that we all want to see flourish in ourselves. During this special evening, we will discover the difference between joy and happiness. We also will explore how to better predispose ourselves to the indwelling Holy Spirit as we pray, play and work and consider the role of optimism in the steadfastness of our spiritual lives.
