Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future, because no one wants to face one’s own inner self.
—Michel de Montaigne
Category: DESPONDENCY
-
Repeatedly dwelling upon something that has offended us, say the saints, will greatly increase our anger, and can produce a despondency that’s very hard to overcome. The ways of those who preserve the recollection of wrongs are towards death, says Scripture (Prov. 12: 28 LXX).
—Dee Pennock, God’s Path to Sanity

Since our Lord Jesus Christ has said: “Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened for you” (Mt 7.7), then pray to this good God in order that he might send his Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to us. When this comes,it shall teach us about everything (Jn 14.26) and reveal all of the mysteries to us. Seek to be guided by this Spirit. It will not allow deceit or distraction in the heart. It will not permit despondency or melancholy in the mind. It illumines the eyes, supports the heart, and uplifts the intellect.“
