�Feeling a little subdued by (or furious at) the unfolding drama of the presidential race?�

So asks alumna author Suzie Andres (�87) in a posted on Catholic Exchange. �Never fear,� she answers, �the Church always has the answer, lovingly drawn from her store of treasures, old and new.�

The article, coinciding with yesterday�s Feast of the Prophet Elijah, illustrates how the story of Elijah, �put into the context of history,� shows that �we don�t have it as bad as we like to think.� Moreover, the Church, through her prayers and liturgies, offers no shortage of opportunities for consolation and hope.

�So for those of us who are having a bit of a time with the political dramas of our own day, let us give ourselves (and the world) a break,� Mrs. Andres concludes. �Turn off the news, tear our eyes away from the internet, go to the mouth of the cave (or in our room where we can shut the door), and spend a few minutes in remembrance of the Mysteries which save us.�
