Our colleagues from our monastery's health channel contributed to this video fragment. People sometimes feel sad, lose interest in life, suffer from frustration or irritability for no apparent reason. These may all be symptoms of today's common problem that Christians call despair. What are some of its spiritual causes, how can we help ourselves, and how can our faith in God give us strength?
In this fragment, nun Maria Litvinova explores the root causes and consequences of despair, shares her personal experiences and shows how our faith in God and heartfelt prayer can become powerful weapons in our struggle.
