WOF 277: The Dark Night of the Soul
What is the "dark night of the soul"? How does it differ from general depression, sadness, or confusion? Bishop Barron and Brandon explore this spiritual concept from St. John of the Cross, and discuss a famous saint from recent times who experienced this "dark night" in a profound way.
A listener asks, does God have a sense of humor? If so, is it objective so that everyone should find it funny?
