NON SEI LA DEPRESSIONE: Come fare discernimento nei momenti bui | Omelia di Don Luigi Maria Epicoco

Do you feel overwhelmed by a sense of emptiness or by thoughts of sadness that seem to leave you no escape? In this extraordinary and profound catechesis, Father Luigi Maria Epicoco offers us spiritual guidance for dealing with depression and inner desolation through Christian discernment. Too often, we confuse our fleeting emotions with profound feelings, or we fall for the lies of evil that uses distorted truths to sap our desire to live. Father Epicoco teaches us to illuminate our inner selves, to rediscover prayer as listening and silence, and to understand that our life is not a pre-written script: we, together with God, must craft our own response and make free decisions. Let yourself be guided by the advice of the Saints and discover how to transform the chaos of your soul into a true masterpiece, applying what Father Luigi ironically calls "MacGyver theology."
