Fear: A Catholic Explanation of a Universal Problem

By Raymond Lloyd Richmond Ph.D.

One small word, and yet so much hangs on it. Fear keeps alcoholics drinking, addicts addicted, and wretched sinners stuck in sin like quicksand. In fearing the darkness of the human psyche you never get to feel the true joy of real light. Because, after all, the light of truth illuminates the dark and shows the darkness for what it is. So, there you are, in full irony: in your fear of the dark, you end up fearing love itself. Still, despite the fear, there is hope. The shards of broken love can be repaired.
