美国主教团心理健康九日敬礼10月18日收官 全球逾十亿人受心理健康问题困扰
华盛顿——美国天主教主教团（United States Conference of Catholic Bishops，USCCB）10月10日发布消息，2026年度「心理健康九日敬礼」于10月10日至18日举行，10月18日收官。这一天是圣路加瞻礼——圣路加是福音书作者、也是医护人员的主保；主教团指出，2026年该瞻礼在罗马礼仪日历上由常年期第二十九主日取代。
据主教团介绍，这九天的祈祷与反思聚焦心理健康的多个面向及其影响。九日敬礼始于2023年主教团发起「全国天主教心理健康运动」之时，现由 Louisville 总主教 Shelton J. Fabre 与 Dallas 主教 Edward J. Burns 共同带领。主教团同时把九日敬礼作为邀请，吁各堂区参与10月11日的「心理健康主日」。英、西双语的祈祷与反思材料公布在主教团网站 usccb.org/mental-health-novena；有意在堂区组建心理健康事工者，可查阅 usccb.org/mentalhealth，并参考国际天主教心理健康牧师协会与 Catholic Charities USA 的资源。
主教团在声明中援引数据称，心理健康问题影响全球逾十亿人，美国每年至少每五人中有一人受其影响，梵蒂冈已将此称为「紧迫的牧灵挑战」。主教团同时推介了梵蒂冈促进整体人类发展部部长 Alessandra Smerilli 修女10月10日世界心理健康日的信息；她在信息中表示，没有任何心理创伤能抹去一个人的尊严。

U.S. Bishops' Novena for Mental Health Concludes October 18, as Mental Health Is Named an 'Urgent Pastoral Challenge'
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) announced in an October 10 press release the 2026 start of its annual Novena for Mental Health, running October 10–18 and concluding on October 18, the feast of St. Luke, the evangelist and a patron of healthcare. The USCCB noted that in 2026 the feast is superseded on the Roman calendar by the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The nine days of prayer and reflection focus on various aspects of mental health and its impact. The novena was introduced in 2023 during the launch of the USCCB's National Catholic Mental Health Campaign, currently spearheaded by Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre of Louisville, Kentucky, and Bishop Edward J. Burns of Dallas. The USCCB also pointed to the novena as an invitation for parishes to participate in Mental Health Sunday, an October 11 observance established by the bishops as part of the campaign. Prayers and reflections in English and Spanish are available at usccb.org/mental-health-novena, and the bishops directed those interested in forming a mental health ministry to usccb.org/mentalhealth and to resources from the International Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministers and Catholic Charities USA.
The bishops renewed their commitment to an issue the Vatican has named an 'urgent pastoral challenge,' noting it affects more than 1 billion people globally and at least 1 in 5 people in the U.S. every year. The USCCB promoted the October 10 World Mental Health Day message of Sister Alessandra Smerilli, prefect of the Vatican's Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, who stressed that 'no psychological wound can ever erase the dignity of a human person.'
