If we cannot distinguish between loneliness, solitude, and isolation, we will not be able to fight against what can be a crippling source of pain. We live in a fallen world, and we must know how to identify what is merely normal human emotion, as well as lies from the Devil. Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to prepare you for the upcoming Sunday Mass.
