In April, we recognize the gifts of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and show how our faith leads us to create communities where all are welcome. “Respect for persons with disabilities and including them equally in the life of the Church is crucial for our understanding of the human person.”
In order to spread awareness in your parish about Autism Spectrum Disorder during Autism Spectrum Disorder Awareness month in April, choose one of these petitions to say during the Prayers of the Faithful during each weekend Mass for the month of April.
For all of God's children who are living with mental illness, we pray to the Lord.
For those who are troubled in mind and spirit, we pray to the Lord.
For those suffering from mental illness; May they be healed through the mercy of the Holy Spirit, we pray to the Lord.
