18.01.2022 Today, on World Mental Health Day, we reflect on the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Social Justice Statement 2020-2021 ‘To Live Life to the Full: Mental... health in Australia today’ and the church’s role to work towards removing stigmatisation associated with mental ill-health. We offer a prayer for all those who are battling a form of mental illness. Jesus, you invite us all into the fullness of life. May we support one another to flourish in body, mind and spirit. Strengthen our commitment to ensure that nobody falls through gaps in our systems of care. People called you mad. Help us to recognise you in those who suffer mental ill-health today. Show us how to eliminate stigmatisation of mental ill-health from our parishes, schools, communities and organisations. You drew near to those who were suffering in body or mind. May we too feel your nearness when we struggle with mental health challenges. May we be one as members of Your Body. You invite us to share in your ministry of love and true compassion. May we be empowered by your Spirit to reach out to all people in need. May we build communities of welcome and inclusion. Amen.

Pray for me to the Mother of the Rosary and to her Divine Son, for I have great confidence that through your assistance I shall obtain the favour I so much desire. Amen.
