Homily for February 7, 2021

Suicide is on the rise. So are depression and anxiety. Pornography is rampant. We are angry and vitriolic with one another. What is our future? In today’s first reading Job says that life is a drudgery. He concludes he shall never see happiness again. Wow. Job is in a bad place. But too many of us may feel that way too. The antidote to this sadness? Faith in God. Cultivating a relationship with Jesus.
