Which Saint Wrote Extensively on Despair?

[Alainval]

Was there a specific saint who struggled with despair or wrote extensively on the topic?

 

[Thom18]

I’m something of an expert on despair (considering it’s the focus of my current thesis). Saint Aquinas wrote briefly of it. I’ll see if I can find it.

I don’t think saints struggled with despair. Anxiety and pain yes, but faith kept them from despairing. Faith is the answer.
