Hopeless?

Fr. Mike offers insights on how to combat despair. If you feel like
you've tried everything, see no way out, or think nothing matters,
Fr. Mike reminds you of the true meaning of hope. He explains that
we can always rely on God's presence. Choosing hope means choosing
to act with courage, even if that victory is as simple as getting
out of bed. Finally, he reminds us that one of the best ways to
fight despair is to bring that hopelessness to God in Confession.
