"I often struggle with feelings of worthlessness; even so, my faith tells me time and again that I am worthy because God says so. ... The knowledge of his love, unconditional and endless, allows me to feel love myself — love for myself."

—Hannah Wingett in "The pain of mental illness and the grace of Catholic faith [1]," published on National Catholic Reporter. Today, May 15, is the feast of St. Dymphna [2], patron saint of those with mental illness, and May is Mental Health Awareness Month [3].
