Attention Bulletin Editors, as well as Parish Liturgical Coordinators and prayer group leaders: please share these petitions for persons facing challenges, especially those with mental health concerns, in upcoming meeting and event prayers, and in the Universal Prayers at weekend Liturgies (or include in your parish bulletin).
May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Consider using one or two each week:
1. That families that include members with mental health and other disabilities will find a welcoming home in the Catholic Church, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
2. For parishes to find the resources they need to reach out to all their members, especially those with mental health concerns, and their families, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
3. For our parish family during Mental Health Awareness Month, that we will model the welcoming and inclusive ministry of Jesus, seeking always to see the image of God in every person, let us pray to the Lord. R/.
Thank you for praying along with the Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry staff.
Prayers adapted from the National Catholic Partnership on Disability Autism Task Force. Â
