Today is National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls & #RedDressDay. It honours Indigenous grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts & nieces. Let’s raise awareness for Canada’s #MMIWG today and every day.
I was the on-call SpR psychiatrist last night in South London
I assessed people in a mental health crisis who needed emergency inpatient care
There was NOT A SINGLE PSYCHIATRIC BED AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
If this was physical health, there would be outrage
Today I give thxs for 21 yrs of service to God as a priest.
“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
Goodness is stronger than evil;
Love is stronger than hate;
Light is stronger than darkness;
Life is stronger than death;
Victory is ours through Him who loves us. (Desmond Tutu, An African Prayer book, pg 80, Doubleday, 1995)
In a world wounded by conflict, following Jesus means hearing and responding to His call on us to be peacemakers, justice-seekers, reconcilers and bearers of His good news.
