Episode # 1130 - The Evil Of Sickness And Depression

TGIF everyone and the door opens for the Holy Week, as Lent comes to a close this year and with Palm Sunday coming too this Sunday, as well as Easter too.  Everyone is getting ready for the weekend, but Producer Nick seems to be only continuing his work week.  Father Anthony continues the discussion about the airplane crash that happened in the French Alps a bit more at the start of the show.  With this in mind, the discussion with everyone turns toward talking about fears and worries, related to the recent information Father Anthony shares about this tragedy, as well as sickness and depression here too.  This in turn, has everyone sharing their personal experiences with situations and feelings like these, which brings out the worst in behavior it seems in people, which raises the question of: "Why would someone do something like that?"  Father Anthony helps illustrate these serious topics with his own personal experience visiting Rwanda in Africa.  The discussion continues with Father Anthony sharing more Gospel readings along these lines, along with everyone else offering their feelings on this.  Now, with all this evil, sickness, and depression with the reality of this recent tragedy, Father Anthony points out that even though we suffer, God suffers with us and helps us through difficult things like this.  With the help of everyone on the show, especially Gerri, Father Anthony tires to answer some of the questions raised during the discussion on the show, as well as discussions that come up casually with people about these serious subjects.
