Spirituality within counselling is a growing area of therapy for many practitioners.

Saint Faustina carried in her heart the desire for every soul on Earth to know that it was created by the Love of the Lord. And what desires accompany you today, Dear Sister, Dear Brother?

We invite you to spiritual reflection based on another fascinating fragment of the Diary of the Saint Apostle of Divine Mercy:

"O God, how I desire that souls come to know You and to see that You have created them because of Your unfathomable love. O my Creator and Lord, I feel that I am going to remove the veil of heaven so that earth will not doubt Your goodness.
Make of me, Jesus, a pure and agreeable offering before the Face of Your Father. Jesus, transform me, miserable and sinful as I am, into Your own self (for You can do all things), and give me to Your Eternal Father. I want to become a sacrificial host before You, but an ordinary wafer to people. I want the fragrance of my sacrifice to be known to You alone. O Eternal God, an unquenchable fire of supplication for Your mercy burns within me. I know and understand that this is my task, here and in eternity. You Yourself have told me to speak about this great mercy and about Your goodness." /Diary, 483/

Please see the concerns raised by the AASW about the NDIS parity in fee strucutre..

AASW Concerned Over New NDIS Budget Structures and Inadequate Pricing Reforms

The AASW is deeply concerned about significant developments within the NDIS that create a risk to participant outcomes, the sustainability of the scheme, and the integrity of social work practice.

These developments include:

• Implementation of Section 33 funding periods which introduces constraints on when participants can access their budgets.
• Release of the NDIS Annual Pricing Review 2024–2025 which:
- Fails to acknowledge that AMHSWs are funded through Medicare and many private health insurance schemes as part of its price benchmarking for social workers
- Fails to index all support item prices annually, in line with CPI and actual business costs
- Introduces a proposed cap on travel billing which ignores the realities not just of rural and remote areas, but metropolitan regions as well.

The AASW is calling on the NDIA to:

• Review the inaccurate classification of social work under MBS and PHI in its pricing benchmarks
• Index all support item prices annually
• Reverse the travel time restrictions
• Engage meaningfully on future pricing and policy decisions.

To reduce anxiety, stress and anger for those with a Christian faith it is helpful to head towards the early scriptures and lean into the deep understanding of human compassion and forgiveness of others. It is not easy to do this but this shows a tenderness in all of us to rise above conflict.

Yesterday in Sunday’s Gospel, we hear the command from Jesus to love our enemies in a way that is Divine.

Let us reflect upon this call in our week to come, as we encounter God’s children in our lives🤍
