Monsignor Pope Ping!
Thank you for the ping! As always, what Monsignor Pope said yesterday is profoundly relevant to the situation we find ourselves in right now.
An additional point jumped out at me, too. Things can *always* be worse, no matter how much we might be suffering at any given time. Taking stock of the Blessings we *do* have- & they are many, feeling grateful for those, & that *today*, now, we are Blessed is a relief from our troubles & keeps us going.
We can get so caught up in misery or despair that we forget & that can weaken us.
