Today, we celebrate the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. And on this day, we hear from Job who shares his dark night of the soul. He says:
“Is not man’s life on earth a drudgery? Are not his days those of a hireling? He is a slave who longs for the shade, a hireling who waits for his wages. So, I have been assigned months of misery, and troubled nights have been told off for me. If in bed I say, “When shall I arise?” then the night drags on; I am filled with restlessness until the dawn. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope. Remember that my life is like the wind; I shall not see happiness again” (Job 7: 1-4, 6-7).
This piece of writing is an incredible portrait of depression, a condition that applies to so many people at lease at some point in their lives. The World Health Organization estimates that about 246,000,000 people worldwide suffer from depression.
Depression is a health condition that, if untreated, can radically decrease the quality of a person’s life and the lives of those of others. It affects one’s physical and spiritual health also. Sometimes, it can lead to death through suicide.
The good news is that there are medical treatments for depression today. If you are suffering from this disorder, I encourage you to seek treatment from your physician.
