Resources for Mental Health Research is helping us become increasingly aware that mental health concerns are a normal part of life. “Mental illness is real, common, and treatable.” Just as we would naturally call upon a doctor if our arm were broken, so we should call for assistance if we experience uncomfortable symptoms of depression or anxiety that might include feeling down, lacking energy, feeling nervous or easily excitable, having moments of panic, concern that we are drinking too much, or being unable to sleep well. These things do not reveal personal failure. Rather, they are symptoms common to challenges in life. Please keep in mind the many resources available in our communities. For example, Community Adult Mental Health Initiative which serves Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright Counties. Information is available on the web at www.mnmentalhealth.org and a crisis response team is available at 800-635-8008 or 32-253-5555. In our region we have suicide hotlines, sexual assault centers, a crisis text line, county agencies, behavior health hospitals, counseling and psychiatric services, emergency shelters, chemical dependency treatment centers, housing resources, and more. We should all know that we are never alone in moments of crisis. There are also skills available for suicide prevention. QPR, a play on CPR, is a clever acronym for “Question. Persuade. Refer.” It encourages us to recognize that suicidal thoughts are often passing. If we can recognize signs there is a possibility to listen deeply, equip with hope and practical resources, so that tragedy might be prevented. Warming signs of suicide include:
Suicide threats Previous suicide attempts Alcohol and drug abuse
Statements revealing a desire to die Sudden changes in behavior
Prolonged depression Making final arrangements
Giving away prized possessions Purchasing a gun or stockpiling pills
The doors of the church are also open anyone who feels overwhelmed with life. Please feel free to call me (Fr. Edward) on my cell phone 320-492-6877 if you ever feel that life is out of control or burdensome. May God keep us all in sound health of body and mind. But, when we experience dark moments, we should know that we are never alone. Scripture Quote from the Day—Psalm 27:1,14
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life's refuge; of whom should I be afraid?
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
Fr. Edward

Prayer | Fasting | Almsgiving Prayer: Throughout Scripture, Jesus goes to pray in deserted place. Lent is our "deserted place." We draw near to God through Mass, confession, and spiritual practices like the Stations of the Cross, but we are also invited to spend time in prayer alone with the Father like Jesus did. Fasting: Fasting is not a diet! With a diet, we try to achieve a physical goal in this world. In fasting, we try to achieve a spiritual goal in the next. Fasting helps us to sacrifice our preferences and less-than-healthy impulses to build discipline to choose the good in all areas of life. Almsgiving: Time and time again, the Bible tells us that to love God we must love others. Our "neighbor" is someone we might not expect. Giving alms is an opportunity to support and care for our neighbor in need.
