 Help People Suffering with Mental Health |
|
|
During the season of Lent, we are reminded of the importance of intentional prayer, fasting and almsgiving for 40 days. You may have already started praying for the Church, fasting from sweets or volunteering at a local homeless shelter, however, this message comes to encourage you to help people suffering from mental illness.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 20% of American adults experience mental illness each year. This number equates to 43.8 million people who tremendously need your prayers and help during this holy season.
There are endless ways you can help someone burdened by suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, such as: |
- Offering affectionate prayer to individuals upon request
- Guiding them to licensed psychologists for proper treatment
- Gaining skills to diagnose common psychological problems
|
To adequately and professionally provide the above help, we urge you to consider our Online Master's in Counseling to make meaningful acts of service that help reduce mental illness. |

Spiritual Reminder of Lent's Purpose |
|
|
| "(Lent) is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism."
-Pope Benedict XVI |
