Suffering with the Savior, Sorrow with the Saints: A Catholic Exploration of Mental Health

Suffering has always existed. Mental anguish has always occurred-it is part of the human condition. Yet the spread of mental illness is profound and alarming. Why are more people suffering mentally than ever before? Why are more and more cases of serious mental illness and acute stress disorders becoming more and more common? There are many possible answers, but one is more fundamental than all others, and it requires a thorough examination. We live in a time where society has diminished all reliance on and respect for God.

In Suffering with the Savior, Sorrow with the Saints God's relation to suffering is explored. Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist is analyzed as a possible tool for emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. Further, the saints and their stories are described so as to give hope and lessons to the modern person. There are 53 individual stories of suffering turned redemptive through the lives of the saints and other holy people. In them lie deep lessons and incredible faith. Read this book to achieve a means for addressing the sufferings and sorrows of today in hopes of achieving a better, holier tomorrow. Even in darkness, God is always the light. Though we may travel through troubled waters, He is with us always!
