“Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies and God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.” – Saint Paul (2 Corinthians 1:3-5)

If you are an Mental Health Practitioner, and an Orthodox Christian trusted and firm in your Faith and Love for God, please consider contacting us to join this Directory. As you may have noticed, some sufferers within our communities often have a desire to have an Orthodox Mental Health Professional within the Faith – someone who shares the same beliefs and values. This brings a different kind of light to the suffering and healing of our patients – and that is, the Light of Christ. Because where two or three are gathered together in His Name, He is there in the midst of them. That’s why we received the Blessing to create this Directory. God Willing, once the Directory continues to expand, we can seek the Blessing to include all States all of Australia.
If you have any questions or would like to join our Orthodox Mental Health Directory, please contact us at prayerrope.co@gmail.com
Thank you and God Bless you,
Kerry and Jacqueline from the Parish of Saint Paraskevi in St Albans, Melbourne, Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia

“The Lord seeks a heart filled to overflowing with love for God and our neighbour; this is the Throne on which He loves to sit and on which He appears in the fullness of His Heavenly Glory. “Son, give me thine heart” (Proverbs 23:26), for in the human heart the Kingdom of God can be contained.” – Saint Seraphim of Sarov
“Prayer for others which is made gently and with deep love is selfless and has great Spiritual benefit. It brings Grace to the person who Prays and also to the person whom he is Praying. When you have great love and this love moves you to Prayer, then the waves of love are transmitted and affect the person for whom you are Praying and you create around him a shield of protection and you influence him, you lead him towards what is good. When He sees your efforts, God bestows His Grace abundantly on both you and on the person you are Praying for.” – Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
“Lord, have mercy on those who are despairing, help them and grant them peace.” – Saint Paisios the Athonite
