Please pray for 14 year-old Robert who is feeling suicidal.
Also please pray for the repose of the souls of Carl, Anni, Kirby, Mark and Brad, who all committed suicide years ago.
The good news is that we have two new prayer warriors to help us pray: Joan and Linda. As of today, there are 86 people in the Facebook group, including a priest and a deacon, and 6 offline people, in addition to the people on this blog. Praise the Lord!
I can't thank you enough for helping in this important apostolate.

More names and more prayer support
Please pray for Jerry and Melissa who are suicidal, and Eddie, Philip, Linda, Timothy, and Dan who have committed suicide.
Marge, who does not have a computer, will join us in prayer, I know Marge and she is a real prayer warrior.
As we post more and more names, if you feel you heart tugging towards one particular name for some reason, you can "adopt" that person if you want, and offer special prayers for that person. I, myself, have "adopted" one of the persons we have posted who is suicidal. I have, for example, offered my Communions for her, holy hours, special prayers, etc.
As I post this, I am hearing train whistles. The souls are begging for our prayers. Thanks for helping. They will never forget what you are doing for them.

Another request
A priest has asked that we pray for Timothy who committed suicide las week and for his grieving family.
On another note, Dolores, one of our off-line members noticed there was no Mass intention in our parish bulletin for last Thursday, so she had a Mass said for those who are suicidal. I am sure someone was helped by that because the Mass heals. Thanks, Dolores.

God's plan in 1999
As the news spreads about our group and we get more and more requests, we need to arm ourselves with prayer and fasting for strength. There is no question that this is from God. While looking for something in my journal, I found the following entry from July of 1999. It took all these years of prayer and fasting for it to come to fruition.
7/22/99
"In church today I got a VERY, VERY strong message that I am supposed to specialize in one area with Our Lady of Life. (Our Lady of Life encompasses so many different areas, anti-abortion being the most obvious.) The message I got was that I am supposed to concentrate on suicide prevention, because this is something that is not talked about much. I'll have to pray on it more to realize
specifically what I am supposed to do. This message that I got is SO STRONG that I cannot explain how it feels. Two hours later Sandy called me from Burton Funeral Home and said that she had 2 books about suicide that she wanted to drop off to me. I couldn’t believe it because I hadn’t talked to Sandy on the phone for about 6 months. This was definitely my confirmation."

Prayer request for the souls of suicide victims
I received the following note today:
I am glad to have just discovered your site--Some names of people I
have known who have comitted suicide:
A teen ager who accidentally comitted suicide while playing Russian
roulette with his father's pistol --"Brother" (1951)
--my best friend's mother with severe depression (she was like a
loving aunt to me): --Fanny (1979)
--and my friend's uncle (name unknown) who had committed suicide some
years previously: --"Fanny's brother"
A homesick African college student I was tutoring in English in 1968:
--Pat (1968)
Another fellow college student who drank herself to death because she
couldn't deal with the voices in her head: --Mary (1969)
My step-Uncle's elderly widower father who committed suicide after
his beloved dog was taken from him when he was being coerced to go
into a nursing home: -- Earl. (1970?)
Student age 16 who committed suicide (2010) on the first anniversary
of his mother's cancer death :--Jules
please pray also for his father, Chris , especially on the next
double anniversary.
--Also all the elderly British people one reads about in UK
newspapers who fly to the Swiss suicide clinic because they will not
endure death from painful sickness.
--Also in the UK a couple of single mothers who killed their
handicapped children, and then themselves, because they were
depressed, exhausted and overwhelmed as carers.
Thank you--
Raven

Payer request and more prayer support on the way!
I have been asked to put the name Brad on our list to pray for. He is suicidal.
And for the good news - Lesli is going to join us in praying for these intentions and will ask her prayer group also to pray. We welcome Lesli and her prayer group.
