Very good article on suicide and forgiveness

Here is an article taken from our Diocesan Publication on Suicide. I hope it brings peace whose loved ones have gone down that path.


Question

Corner

Father Kenneth

Doyle

Can

suicide

be

forgiven?

Q. I need an answer. Our son

had been suffering from clinical

depression since he was 4 years

old. All of the doctors and all of

the medications we tried over the

years seemed to do little to help.

One year ago, his own son died in

an auto accident at the age of 24,

and that seemed to be more than

our son could handle. Last week

~ve received a phone call that our

;on. aged 50, had taken his own

Life.

The priest from our church

spent that evening with us. He

:old us that our son was forgiven

because it was mental illness

:hat caused him to take his life.

- :e my sister found out about

~y son's self-inflicted death,

has refused to speak with

us. I am wondering whether

she believes that someone who

_ jmmits suicide, no matter what

:he reason, is condemned forever.

I am writing to you because I

would like to have someone who

emoved from the scene tell

~e what the Catholic Church's

:hinking is on this subject. (City

::" origin withheld)

A. Suicide, objectively, is a

grave sin. God has gifted us with

•-. We are only its stewards, not

.nasters. But in reminding

:: that, the Catechism of the

.-.:>lic Church in No. 2282

'-: to note that the moral

responsibility for a suicide may

be diminished because the inner

turmoil a person was going through

precluded sound reasoning.

The catechism goes on to say

in No. 2283 that "we should not

despair of the eternal salvation of

persons who have taken their own

lives. By ways known to him alone,

God can provide the opportunity for

salutary repentance. The church

prays for persons who have taken

their own lives."

In contrast to older versions of

the Code of Canon Law, Canon No.

1184 no longer lists a person who

died by suicide as someone who

should not be given a Christian

funeral.

Moral judgment in such cases

is best left to God. The church's

approach to the tragedy is pity,

not condemnation, and your parish

priest had a sound basis for the

comfort he offered you.

Tuesday request

This is from another group.  I am leaving out even the girl's first name for privacy because it is a very unusual name and people may recognize it.  God knows who this is.

Please pray for a girl who is turning 18 soon. She has developed a drug addiction and on top of that she's tried to commit suicide three times recently. She left home about two years ago. She has a very difficult relationship with her step dad who is an alcoholic .

Thank you.

Here is another request from a friend. He is asking for prayers from M, who wrote the following:
"I ask for prayers for me and my family as I have been having some major depression/suicide problems. Much appreciated. I know it is a long process but I hope all works out because I don't like feeling this way."

Praise report

We have been praying for Jessamyn who attempted suicide last year. I talked to her aunt today and asked how she was doing and she said she is doing remarkably well and that it is really a miracle.
She was not expected to live after her attempt. They are grateful for the prayers.

Quote about praying for the Holy Souls


As I have mentioned before, I would like to post uplifting things regarding our ministry from time to time to keep our spirits up. I thought I would share something I read in Susan Tassone's best-selling book, "Day by Day for the Holy Souls in Purgatory." I highly recommend this book, especially for this group. I find it very encouraging that a book about praying for the Holy Souls could be a best-seller! Anyway, here is the quote from the mystic, Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich:

“I was in Purgatory tonight. It was as if I were being led into an abyss, where I saw a large hall. It is touching to see the Poor Souls so quiet and sad. Yet their faces reveal that they have joy in their hearts, because of their recollection of God's loving mercy. On a glorious throne, I saw the Blessed Virgin, more beautiful than I had ever beheld Her. She said "I entreat you to instruct people to pray for the suffering Souls in Purgatory, for they certainly will pray much for us out of gratitude. Prayer for these holy souls is very pleasing to God because it enables them to see Him sooner."I was in Purgatory tonight. It was as if I were being led into an abyss, where I saw a large hall.

Friday request

From the Facebook group:

asking prayers for my friend Deb, who is struggling with thoughts of suicide. I, by some miracle, messaged her at the right time. She had sleeping pills in her hand ready to end her life when I messaged her. We've been talking for a few hours now and she seems to be better, but Id'f feel better if she were prayerfully protected.
