Summer Movie Lessons

With the summer movie season already upon us, it’s time to sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the ride! While most well-known their adventure and explosions, there are also some kernels of “life lessons” tucked away in summer’s hits.

  • What unique gifts or talents do you bring to the table at your job or as part of your parish or young adult group?
  • How do you reassure yourself — and others — when you feel like you aren’t fitting in?
