In our parishes, practices such as praying for the sick and holding healing Masses serve as a reflection of the belief that God can bring about physical restoration. In addition, the sacrament of Anointing the Sick also mediates healing. However, for many people living with mental health problems, the journey of recovery is long and complex. In this film you will meet Augustina, who lives with depression. Listen to her story, and learn about the resources of grace and nature that are available to us all.
