Please pray for Robert, a doctor, who killed himself many years ago. His ex-wife prayed that he would be saved, and got a confirmation that he was.
Please pray for Thomas and Tina. Thomas murdered his wife Tina on 11/19/00
and then killed himself.
Please pray for John who committed suicide on 3/13/01. His broken-hearted father became Catholic after reading what the Catechism has to say about suicide. (His Protestant upbringing taught him that people who committed suicide went to hell.)
He received the Sacraments of Initiation in July and died two months later on September 11, 2001.
And last, but not least, please pray for a 19 year-old girl who tried to hang herself, but survived, thanks be to God, without any brain damage.

Prayer requests/list update
Please pray for the soul of Mark who committed suicide on Feb. 4.
Also please pray for Stacy(no relation to Mark)who committed suicide on Dec. 8. Stacy's suicide was less than a month after her brother's. Stacy's aunt told me today that their father Donald died of a broken heart last week at age 59. Although his death was not a suicide, we can still pray for his soul.
Fran updated the list again yesterday and it can be found on the website. I printed out the list and am taking it to daily Mass and Adoration.
Thanks, Fran!

Prayer Requests
These requests came from our Facebook group:
Please pray for someone with suicidal thoughts - he was robbed of everything and is elderly and his family is apparently abandoning him (that's all the info I have). Thank you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I ask you to add to your prayers for those who have committed suicide, Jack , a beautiful, but tortured soul who shot himself in his parents' backyard quite a few years ago. Jack loved the Lord with all his heart, but suffered terribly from serious mental illness.
I also ask you to pray for Ben, a member of the Mercyhurst Prep crew team who also shot himself quite a few years ago. My daughter and other crew team members were at his home at the time visiting his brother, also on the team, when they heard the shot coming from his bedroom. It was heartbreaking for his family and for so many of the kids.
Your prayers are also requested for my cousin, Wilfred, who committed suicide when I was a little girl. I was too young to understand, but it seemed a rare tragedy that has now become all too common.
Thanks again, June, for starting this prayer group. I had long forgotten to pray for these souls, much less ask others to join me. May God continue to bless and inspire you!

Prayer request
This prayer request is from one of our Facebook members:
Please pray for a young man, David, who committed suicide Thursday in front of a Catholic church and school in Kentucky. He left a 6 page letter on Facebook stating that he had been abused by a priest in the past and hope that his death would motivate the hierarchy to become more involved in stopping clergy abuse.
He was a tortured soul. Please pray for him, his family, and the new Bishop who will be dealing with the aftermath of this terrible event.

Holy Souls Chaplet
A member shared the following with me and said I could share with you, but she wishes to remain anonymous:
I've been praying for the souls in purgatory for a few months now, and I had a funny thing start happening to me during one of my "purgatory chaplets". This particular chaplet has, in place of the Our Father, "O holy Souls draw the fire of God's love into my soul to reveal Jesus crucified in me here on earth rather than hereafter in Purgatory, Amen". About halfway through the chaplet I actually started to feel a burning sensation in my heart with each prayer. I believe this was the "fire of God's love" from the prayer. It still happens on occasion, I love it because it lets me know my prayers are doing something.
The Holy Souls Chaplet using rosary beads.
Begin as you would the rosary through the "Glory Be", then, starting on the 5th bead and on the rest of the “Our Father” beads pray:
"O Holy Souls, draw the fire of God's love into my soul to reveal Jesus Crucified in me here on earth rather than hereafter in Purgatory"
On each “Hail Mary” decade bead, pray:
"Crucified Lord Jesus, have mercy on the souls in Purgatory"
Conclude with 3 “Glory Be’s”
