Profiles of Endurance ~George Knauer

April 14, 2002 was the last day Coxsackie, NY, resident George Knauer was able to see.  On that day he collapsed in his apartment as a serious infection and high fever permanently damaged his optic nerve, plunging him into darkness.  George not only survived his illness, he even returned to his work as a plumber and wrote a book about his experience entitled Suddenly Dark.  

 

George shares with Fr. Scott his perspective on how to live with joy and purpose despite his circumstances and how we can all choose to prevail no matter what.
