"A good way to get out of a cycle of self-pity or a negative mood is to help others, following the example of the Virgin Mary, who went to help her pregnant cousin Elizabeth, Pope Francis said on Sunday.
"'Let us learn from Our Lady this way of reacting: to get up, especially when difficulties threaten to crush us. To arise, so as not to get bogged down in problems, sinking into self-pity and a sadness that paralyzes,' he said Dec. 19."
A recent Catholic News Agency article reported on this message of Pope Francis, in which he encouraged reaching out to help others during this Christmas season.
