The pride of His accomplishments and the agony of the cross and the amazement of resurrection. The emotions are like a roller coaster, they go up and down making Mary cry and laugh and feel like a human being. The range of emotions we feel get intensified during the holidays. The joy we feel when we hold a newborn baby or wipe away a child's tears. The sorrow and grief we feel when we lose a loved one.
Many people believe that if they are sad and unhappy they are also depressed.
But in fact, clinical depression has nothing to do with sadness and sorrow, it's flat-lining. In the medical sense, if you are flat-lining you are not in a very good position. You are dead. When we flat-line emotionally no bells and whistles go off to sound an alarm and nobody comes running to help. We don't cry anymore.
