Faith, pop culture, and headline reflections from Fr. Mike Schmitz.
Loneliness is real and loneliness is really difficult. How do I handle feeling alone and what does my loneliness mean?
Fr. Mike speaks into the deep and painful experience of loneliness, especially in the Christian life. He reminds us that loneliness is not a sign of failure or weakness, but a reflection of our God-given longing for love and communion. While God is always near, Fr. Mike encourages us to be honest about our pain and to invite Jesus into that place — because even in our loneliness, we are never truly alone.
