We are called to “rejoice always,” and it’s easy to do so when things are good. But when things are bad dark, depressing, or without hope? It’s not so easy, and yet at those moments, we should praise God all the more – not for the darkness, but so that the light of the world overcomes the darkness. No matter our situation, remember to rejoice, for the light will always overcome the darkness.
We hope you enjoy these and the rest of this week’s playlist.
