[Catholic] Meditation engages thought, imagination, emotion, and desire. The mobilization of faculties is necessary in order to deepen our convictions of faith, prompt the conversion of our heart, and strengthen our will to follow Christ. Christian prayer tries above all to meditate on the mysteries of Christ, as in lectio divina or the rosary. This form of prayerful reflection is of great value, but Christian prayer should go further: to the knowledge of the love of the Lord Jesus, to union with him.

I have come not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

Luke 5:32

Depressed? You might have an answer for it here:

If you remove from your midst
oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
if you bestow your bread on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
and the gloom shall become for you like midday.
- Isaiah 58

- St. Thomas Aquinas

If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.

- St. Thomas Aquinas
