Depression and finding Hope for the Hopeless
There is no quick fix for
depression, but the Church has a role to play in teh healing of the depressed. We can’t just tell those suffering among us to snap out of it and
expect the pain to go away, but we can surround our brothers and sisters suffering from
depression and be there source of strength, faith and hope when they are unable to attain
to these things for themselves. We can help by combating the lies of distorted
self-perception and affirm those truths most essential to an identity to be
found in the God who created them. Depression is not a journey to be taken alone.
