Blessed be the
ones who only
want to be loved and understood
Blessed be the ones whose
mind betrays them and confuses
their thoughts and perceptions of the world
Blessed be the ones who Jesus
hears even when others seem to run away
Blessed be the people who have a mental illness
May we always notice their goodness and
gifts which God has given them
May we encourage and be able
to give the help and respect they deserve
May they know they are loved and cherished
Let them know we hear their cry
We see their holiness
and we will treat them as brothers and sisters
Amen
