This is my first post on Catholic answer. I’ve scan this site for months and real love the back and forth comments. You have all been very instructional for me.

I’m having a problem, and I hope this is the correct site for some much needed help. My grandson lives with me, he suffers from major depression, AHDH, and tends to be obsessive. He is in his teens and going through a very rough time now. He takes medications, and see a councilor, but he needs further help. Everything he talks about is very negative, the one positive thing is his faith in our Lord Jesus.

I meditate a lot and I think mediating on Our Lord would be of help emotionally, and also help him with his AHDH. Plus maybe keep him on a positive trac about life. What I need is advice on meditations for young teens, something to start him off slowly, nothing to deep. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

How about praying and meditating on the mysteries of the rosary? There are plenty of online rosary meditations.

Before he leaves for the day, you two could read the daily Mass readings together and briefly discuss how he can incorporate the gospel into his day.

You could do the Holy Hour - meditating on the sufferings of our lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. You can find the holy hour practised by St Gemma Galgani on the net. This is the one that I use and it is a very beautiful meditation.
