DAY FOR LIFE 2008

Understanding mental health problems.
There is no true health without mental health. Good health helps us to enjoy life and to face the disappointments, pain and sadness which we will all inevitably experience at some stage in our lives.
Illness is generally a time of spiritual need and very often challenges us in our faith, our hope and our love. It takes great courage to be able to appreciate life in the midst of human suffering. The experience of mental illness is particularly distressing as it may deprive someone of the ability to direct their own lives.

Prayer:
We thank you Lord for the gift of life.
Help us to appreciate the unique dignity of every human person and the individual contribution they make to the world, in fulfilment of the task you give them. Enable us by your grace to promote their we well-being, serving you on one another in a spirit of generosity, through Christ Jesus Our Lord, Amen.
