A Litany to bring real mental health concerns into traditional Catholic prayer.

Join Dr. Greg Bottaro for a free nine-day Pentecost Novena for mental and emotional healing. May 15–23.

A Pentecost Novena for Healing

Friend,

For over a decade, I've sat with people burdened by one belief — that their Catholic faith and their mental health have to stay separate. As if they had to choose. Thankfully, we don't.

This Litany is different from any prayer you may have ever prayed. It names the fears, the lies, and the anxieties out loud — and brings them to Jesus.

Together, I believe we can bring a wave of healing to thousands of people around the world suffering from mental and emotional distress.

I hope you join me!

Take the prayer with you.

This prayer says what most prayers don’t.

This Litany goes places that no other prayer goes. Together, we can bring each of these directly and boldly to God…

Existential Fears

  • Insignificance

  • Invisibility

  • Abandonment

  • The silence beneath performance

  • The void where the noise stops

The lies we live by

  • That we must earn love

  • That intensity is intimacy

  • That control is safety

  • That heat is warmth

  • That being seen is being known

Clinical conditions…

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Compulsion

  • Scrupulosity

  • Trauma

“This isn’t psychology in a Catholic costume.

It’s prayer for the whole human person.
