Toxic Fear

St. Thomas Aquinas says when we fear something that's good, losing it, there's a healthy emotion of fear. And so right now we're living in this pandemic and there's a lot of things that are being threatened in our life. If we ignore those fears, we're going to go into toxic fear. But if we ignore them, it's at our peril. It doesn't solve our fear. It increases it. So what do we do? We feel the fear that's there and rather than try to fix it ourselves or medicate it or run away from it,. "We bring that to God and we have this deeper security in him"
