Fr. Mike's Thoughts on Babies Crying

ASCENSION
About this episode

Why do babies cry? Have you ever considered that their cries might have something to teach us?

Fr. Mike explains that a baby's cry is an act of faith—they cry because they trust someone will hear, someone will care, and someone will come. In the same way, when we cry out to God in our moments of pain or loneliness, that too is an act of faith. And like a loving Father, He sees us, He cares, and He comes.
