Share the Thought by Msgr. Andro

How do we deal with people getting depressed? Simple! We let them feel they are not alone. The Risen Lord did just that. He offered to the two disciples [on the road to Emmaus] what modern counselors call "pastoral accompaniment." He drew close to them. He entered into conversation and listened to them. He stayed with the two. With them He broke bread [cf. Bishop David's homily]. There are many people who experience "depression" in varying degrees. They don't need our advice. They need our [real or virtual] consoling presence.
