From Fr. Calinic Berger's reflection: "To have angst for one’s soul is a care or anxiety totally opposed to the worldly angst or anxiety, which nails us to the world. When the relentless pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain is abandoned, the passionate anxiety disappears as well. And it is replaced with hope. Hope is the complete opposite of angst. … Hope and anxiety have the same root in human nature which is an orientation to the future. Yet, they cannot coexist. As anxiety contains uncertainty, hope contains proof. The former gives a foreboding sense of doom, the latter an assurance of God’s help. The former creates unrest and takes away our stability, the latter gives us peace and assurance. The former is fed by worldly care, the latter is fed by faith in God. A healthy angst, therefore, leads to a responsibility towards one’s soul, towards the Gospel, towards salvation."
