Dear ForgivenButStillConcerned —
I'm glad you wrote to us today!
As Catholic Christians, we are, in
the words of the Catechism, in a
spiritual war, where the enemy, unlike
other enemies, is unseen. I'm talking
about those demonic bastards that
plant thoughts in our minds like:
Our life is not worth living, especially
during the painful periods of our
lives.
This is a bold-faced lie! Each individual
person reading this posting, including
yourself, was created for a specific
purpose in life. Any person who is
not on medications for
depression or for similar illnesses,
has to remember that thoughts of
despair do not come from God, but
from that bastard, the devil.
The best way to handle the devil,
whether you are on certain medications
or not, is be living a sacramental
life and receiving the sacraments in
a state of grace. Praying the Rosary
is also key to beating the
crap of satan.
Know
that you have friends on the AskACatholic.com
team who will be praying for you,
and those in similar situations,
on a regular basis.
Hope this helps,
Mike
