Helping our Children Find Happiness

Helping our Children Find Happiness

(1.5 Hours)

Many of us might have thought that, with greater wealth, conveniences and technological progress today, our young should be happier than before. Yet a national study published recently showed that about one in three youth in Singapore has reported internalising mental health symptoms such as sadness, anxiety and loneliness.

Something seems to be missing in our children’s lives. What is this? And as Catholic parents, how can we help our children find true happiness?

This talk discusses the deepest needs of our children’s hearts and how this need can only be met when they can love as God loves, based on an intimate communion with Jesus our bridegroom, our source, our goal, our ultimate joy. Which is why St Augustine famously said, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You
