Download or read book To Live Life to the Full written by Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and published by . This book was released on 2020-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the mental health of many members of our parishes, schools and communities. In fact, most of us will experience a mental health problem at some point over the course of our lives. Understanding mental health will help us to be aware of those who need our support. Our parishes, organisations and communities can be places of acceptance care and healing, not places of rejection, judgment or stigma.In the Social Justice Statement To Live Life to the Full: Mental health in Australia today, the Bishops welcome the deinstitutionalisation of mental health care in Australia. However, without adequately funded community mental health services, there is a gap in the system through which people continue to fall. Social determinants including poverty, living conditions, and personal security are significant contributors to mental ill-health. The Statement highlights the experience of First Nations people and communities, asylum seekers and refugees, people who are homeless and those who are in prison.The Bishops observe that "our society tends to draw away from, or to push away, those who confront us with our frailties and limitations" which is "completely at odds with the story of Jesus" who "takes on the frailty of the human condition" and "draws near to those who are sick or who have disabilities, those who are marginalized or despised". People living with mental ill-health are part of the Body of Christ - 'us' and not 'them' - and share equally in Jesus' promise of the fullness of life (Jn 10:10).The Bishops invite us all to reject stigmatization, to work for the transformation of social determinants of mental ill-health, and to call for policies and service provision that meets the needs of the poorest and most marginalized members of our community.
Download or read book Prayers of St Gertrude and St Mechtilde written by St. Gertrude and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a translation, the only one from the Latin, of the Preces Gertrudianae, a manual of devotions compiled in the seventeenth century from the Suggestions of Divine Piety of St. Gertrude and St. Mechtilde, nllns of the Order of St. Benedict. Of this work Alban Butler says, in his life of St. Gertrude, that it is perhaps the most useful production, next to the writings of St. Teresa, with which any female saint ever enriched the Church."Care has been taken to preserve, not only the substance, but, as far as might be, the form, of the original prayers; and a few others, well known and much valued, have been added as an Appendix.Let us consider this advice: “When you are distracted in prayer, commend it to the Heart of Jesus, to be perfected by him, as our Lord Himself taught St. Gertrude. One day, when she was nluch distracted in prayer, he appeared to her, and held forth to her his Heart with his own sacred hands, saying: Behold, I set My Heart before the eyes of thy soul, that thou mayest commend to it all thine actions, confidently trusting that all that thou canst not of thyself supply to them will be therein supplied, so that they may appear perfect and spotless in my sight. Remember always to say the Gloria Patri with great devotion. The hermit Honorius relates that a certain monk who had been accustomed to say his office negligently appeared to another after his death and being asked what sufferings he had to undergo in punishment of his carelessness, he said that all had been satisfied for and effaced by the reverent devotion with which he had always said the Gloria Patri.”
Download or read book Sweet Sweet Spirit written by Joseph A. Brown and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The call to engage the laity in the prayer life of the church underlies Sweet, Sweet Spirit. The old should bless the young. The adults should offer protection to the old and the young. The very young should practice their faith in the presence of their elders. And the church should shout, 'Amen.'" —from the Introduction Communal prayer in the Black Catholic tradition has been one of the most creative developments in the last half-century of liturgical development. This collection of prayer services from the Black Catholic church holds a few examples of how the Black Catholic community has been working on building the stones of our journey (Joshua 4:19-14), stones built on the lives of our ancestors of faith, the songs of our brothers and sisters, the dances of our most ancient kin and the sounds of the drums that guided them. Authors Brown and Cheri composed prayer services that allow for "emotional, effective, dramatic, soulful performance in worship." The prayer services provide inspiration to evangelize and are ecumenical. Sweet, Sweet Spirit features: • Libation rituals • Prayer services for gathering, blessing the home, Black History Month, presentation in the Temple, reconciliation, Good Friday, Thea Bowman, women, men's day, youth retreat, funerals and dedications • Litany of the saints • General intercessions • Anointing for evangelization
