  • Turn on the Love with Dr. Lourdes Rodriguez: “Works are in the eye of the beholder.”

    Turn on the Love with Dr. Lourdes Rodriguez: “Works are in the eye of the beholder.”

    “My mother always says: ‘El que no vive para servir, no sirve para vivir’ which loosely translates into ‘a life that is not lived in service (say, through works), is not worth living’. Join us as we explore the meaning of works from multiple perspectives: life circumstances, cultural backgrounds, and our elders‘ wisdom. Using scripture, contemporary literature, reflections by spiritual leaders and our lived experience we will come to see ‘Works’ in unexpected places, through the eye of the beholder.”
