Today, I’m focusing on the resurrection of Christ, which is the cornerstone of our faith, providing hope during life's challenges. By anchoring our faith in the resurrection, we can navigate the complexities of life with a renewed perspective. We can embrace both the hardships and the hope that the resurrection offers, it is possible to find peace and purpose even in difficult times! Let us be an Easter people, filled with hope and grace.

n this episode, I introduce a new segment: "Hey Dr. Mario," where I answer your questions related to relationship status, emotional health, and discernment. This week I tackle the question on knowing the difference between spiritual dryness and depression. Thanks for everyone who has submitted questions. If you have a question head over to www.drmariosacasa.com/ask  

Lastly, Catholics across the world mourn the loss of Pope Francis. A man full of hope who was rooted in the resurrection. He embodied the grounded optimism we discuss so much on this show and was an incredible witness of what it means to live a life dedicated to simplicity. Pope Francis ushered the Church into the social media era (for all its good and ill). Let us pray for his soul as God welcomes him into his kingdom!
