                                  ...from Fr. Gerard
                    “This is enough, O LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”

As a priest, I have been privileged to share in the joys and sorrows of the lives of God’s people. In recent years, I
have become more aware of the particular sorrows that come with mental illness, both for the afflicted and their
families and friends. Like physical illness, mental illness is exhibited in various ways, and many times it may go
unnoticed. Depression is one of those unnoticed or misunderstood manifestations of mental illness. Left untreated
or ignored, depression can lead to substance abuse and suicide.
Mental Health literacy is an important aspiration for all of us to pursue, whether or not we are afflicted or know
someone who is. What people in a parish know and believe about mental illness will have a direct impact on a
parish’s ability to minister to people with a mental illness and their families. If people mistakenly believe that mental
illness is due to a moral failing or character fault, then that will only serve to increase the stigma, shame, and
discrimination that individuals who live with mental illness all too often must deal with. On the other hand, if there
is a broad understanding in the parish community that mental illness is, in fact, an illness that is not the fault of the
person with the mental illness, then more compassion, empathy and companionship can be found in the parish
community.
The dynamic played out in the first reading today is what caused me to share these thoughts with you. The prophet
Elijah has reached a point of crisis; the opposition of King Ahab had driven him to flee. In his despondency, he
requests death, but he is supernaturally provided with food to sustain him on the journey to Horeb, the mountain of
God, where he will receive a theophany. I am not positing that Elijah is exhibiting mental illness, but he is in despair,
and his answer to that desperation is a request that God might end his life. The supernatural food that he receives is
not the answer, but it gives him the strength he needs for the journey that will bring him to a healing encounter with
God. Through the gift of the Holy Eucharist, and our discipleship, we are being called to give others the strength
they need to journey toward a healing encounter with the Lord.
As we move forward from the time of pandemic, we are aware that one of the aspects of healing that may have
been neglected is that pertaining to mental health. Resources for Catholics and Mental Health can be found at the
website for the Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministries https://catholicmhm.org/index. At that site, I
found The Sanctuary Course for Catholics, which is designed to raise awareness and start conversations in local
parishes regarding mental health. Over the next few weeks, I intend to take the course and invite others to do so as
well. The Sanctuary Course for Catholics is for anyone who wants to learn about faith and mental health. It requires
no previous training or expertise—just a willingness to engage in dialogue with your faith community. The link for
the course is https://www.sanctuarymentalhealth.org/catholics. If a number of us takes the course, we can build a
foundation of support here at St. Rose. If you are interested or have further questions, please contact me.
THE SUNDAY MASS OBLIGATION RETURNS– As previously announced, the general dispensation to attend Mass on
Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation in the Diocese of Rockville Centre will end next Saturday evening with the Vigil
Mass of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This means that the faithful are therefore
required once again to attend mass on Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation. This obligation does not apply to those
who are ill or confined to home, hospital, nursing facility or have serious underlying health conditions. Please speak
with one of the priests if you have questions about the obligation to attend mass.
MARIAN PROCESSION AND BENEDICTION - Join us as we process through the neighborhood together, professing
our faith and devotion. Immediately following the 12 Noon Mass next Sunday, as a parish community, we will
process together with the statue of the Blessed Mother through the neighborhood west and south of the church.
We conclude the procession with the Consecration of the parish families to Mary, and solemn Eucharistic
Benediction. Please join us for the procession or meet us along the way. Further details and a map are available
here in the bulletin, on our Facebook page and our website.
Peace,

            Ministry of Consolation

      Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted. —Matthew 5:4
    The funeral Mass is a source of hope and comfort. It is a reminder of God’s
    abiding love and mercy for us. The Ministers of Consolation are adult
    parishioners who desire to help those who are grieving. Ministers of Consolation
    serve as a team. One person tends to the family in greeting them as they enter the
    church, offers tissues, assists the readers as they walk up to the ambo, assists
    families with the presentation of the gifts and serves as a Eucharistic Minister if
    needed. The second person of the team is the Altar Server. The ministry is
    comprised of adults with availability to serve at a morning Mass of their
    choosing. In addition, there are other opportunities for involvement such as
    baking a cake for the family.

    If you are interested in becoming a Minister of Consolation, please contact:
    Barbara Pope at Barbarap@srolchurch.org or call 516.798.4992 x 224.
