Prayer to the

BLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the sea, help me and show me here in, you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times.) Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it and it will be granted to you. Grateful Thanks. J.M.

Dear Heavenly Father I know that you love me even though I have broken your laws. I have heartfelt sorrow for my sins and I ask that you forgive my sins and direct my life. I believe Jesus shed his blood and died for my sins, was buried and was bodily raised to life on the third day. I ask Jesus to be my Savior and my Lord. I pray in the NAME of JESUS, Your Beloved Precious Eternal SON. Amen.

How Do I Know if My Teen is Depressed?

ental health-related disorders consist of many different symptoms, signs, and treatment options. It can be difﬁcult to talk about uncomfortable emotions, thoughts, or behaviors at any age, especially as a teen. As many parents may know, the teenage years bring about changes in physical appearance, attitude, and relationships. It’s not uncommon to ask yourself “What is wrong with my teen? Is this ‘normal’ behavior?” The truth is, between the ages of 13-17, “normal” is irrelevant. When it comes to adolescent behavior, it’s important to try and understand: - Why is it happening? - Where is it coming from? - What could be causing it? Chances are, the answer isn’t simple. Even if it was, that doesn’t mean your teen is willing to admit it. For those of you who have been brave enough to ask, “Are you okay?” “How was school?” “How are you doing?” - you may have been on the receiving end of a silent, cold, or sassy response. So, what next? Struggles of the Average Teen

To better understand your teen, you must ﬁrst consider the many things they may be up against each day: Puberty Schoolwork overload Bullying Extra-curricular activity fatigue Social media Body image concerns Comparing themselves to others

Relationship issues Lack of sleep Poor appetite Feeling lonely Fitting in Hopelessness Academic challenges

Some of these factors, along with many more, can impact a teen’s day-to-day mood, but there are signs and symptoms that there may be something more serious going on. Signs and Symptoms of Depression in Teens It is important to remember that depression does not discriminate, and it can show up differently for everyone. Longterm sadness, low energy, or isolation are some but not the only signs of depression. In fact, there are many warning

signs to consider. Potential changes or signs you may notice if your teen is struggling include, but are not limited to: • Ignoring friends, canceling plans • Ignoring texts, calls, or FaceTimes • Spending more time in their room or out of the house • Not wanting to participate in social activities or sports • Increased irritability, annoyance, or frustration • Falling behind on schoolwork or missing school entirely • Declining grades • Increased arguments at home or with friends • Getting in trouble at school or work • Falling behind on chores or other responsibilities • Change in eating patterns, sleep routine, or energy • Shutting down easily • Lashing out (yelling, hitting, throwing) • Substance use of any kind • Making statements about wanting to die • Making threats about hurting themselves or killing themselves While the above signs and symptoms may indicate depression or anxiety for some teens, it is important to note that each example may be of concern if it is different from your child’s baseline (or typical/average way of existing). For example: - A teen who regularly excels in school but is suddenly failing may be a sign of something more. - A teen who has not typically excelled in school and who has grades following the normal pattern may or may not be a concern. Addressing Teen Depression

ever, it’s important to take the appropriate actions to ensure things aren’t inadvertently overlooked. Starting conversations with your teen can be difﬁcult but these conversations are crucial. If you worry your teen is experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety and you recognize changes from their typical behavior, ask them about it. By asking, it lets your teen know you care (even if the response is vague or less than welcoming). If they don’t share and open fully with you, know that this is common and expected. Don’t take it personally or push for more information. Let your teen know you are willing to ﬁnd them someone to speak with if they are not comfortable speaking with you. Ensure them that help is available and that you are concerned they might be going through something alone. Ask them to promise that if something is up and it gets worse, they will approach you to say they need help. Let them know that if/when that happens, you will respect their privacy and act quickly to get them help without asking more questions (and hold yourself to this commitment). Managing Your Reaction

Managing your own emotions or reactions during a conversation about your teen’s mental health can also be difﬁcult, but it is highly important. It is not beneﬁcial to share with your teen any negative feelings you have about their unwillingness to talk to you or fears you have if they are indeed depressed or anxious. Seek support for yourself so you can work this out away from your teen and remain open/neutral/ supportive/validating in front of your teen. Seeking Help for Your Teen

With the uptick in mental health concerns for teens across the country, it can be difficult to find a therapist or doctor in a timely manner. It can require a lot of work on the phone to find the right level of care and fit. At Butler Hospital, however, there is a 24/7 call intake line, 1-844-401-0111, where a clinician can assist you in determining the next best step for your teen within one brief phone call. They will be sure you understand your options and if you and your teen are ready, they will assist you in putting the recommended plan in motion.

It can be scary to think your teen might be struggling. How-

As we get through the holiday season and into the new year, many people begin planning their year of travel. Some of you may not be big vacationers, some might take two to three trips a year, some others may never stop traveling. Regardless of how often or where you go, one thing most people have in common is their love of souvenirs. It’s only natural to want to bring home a memento or keepsake to remember your adventures!

T-shirts, magnets, hats, and shot glasses are all staple bring-backs, but while probably brightly colored and boasting the name of the place, it is unlikely they were truly made in that location. Closer inspection will likely reveal those items were made in Chinese factories. If you want to bring home souvenirs with actual cultural value and perhaps even future cash value, skip the gimmicky stuff and check for labels or maker’s marks! As an example, I refer back mine and Ashle’s recent trip to Italy. In Venice “Murano” glass is all the rage, and the most commonly seen thing in every gift shop. The scary part is a large portion of the “Murano” glass you see isn’t even made on the island of Murano; It is a cheap imported version designed to imitate Murano glass. Don’t fall into this tourist trap! If

you see the same sculpture thirty-seven times in different stores, it’s not the unique or valuable souvenir you’re looking for. The key to successful shopping while traveling is to find the real deal. Find a local gallery or artist’s studio where you can score a true piece of local culture. If you are walking down a street lined with gift shop after gift shop you are not in the right place. Venture away from the port and main streets to the less trafficked areas where local artisans are more likely to run their shops. You might even get to watch the craftsmen while they work. That’s how Ashle and I ended up coming home with the awesome Italian Massimo Lunardon alien we now have on our mantel instead of a piece of wannabe Murano art glass!

Don’t forget supporting local artisans supports local economies. If you truly appreciate the place you are visiting, shop locally! Avoiding cheap imports will keep the traditional and cultural manufacturing methods alive for future generations to enjoy on future vacations. It is this thought process that will also help you find an authentic travel keepsake for your family’s collection... and not something I’ll have to someday tell your grandchildren is just a cheap knickknack!
