Friday requests a little late

I am sorry these are late. I was hoping with retirement to have more time....

All from the Facebook group:

Asking for prayers for John, a young man who tried to hang himself just one year ago this month. He is now suffering extensive kidney damage due to the medication he has been taking for his depression. He has tried anything to relieve the pain and it has damaged his body badly. My Jesus Mercy.

Please pray for Danton, who took his own life, a few years ago.

Praying for a young woman suffering with depression, and mourning the loss of her grandmother. She is really struggling.

Prayer of St. Ignatius For Depression


Prayer against depression by St Ignatius Loyola- 

O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness & we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength. Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand, Your purpose, Your will through all things. — con St Ignatius Loyola.

Prayer to St. Raphael to Intercede for Those Contemplating Suicide

Holy Archangel Raphael, appointed by God to guide, protect and heal, I entrust to you all people who at this moment are contemplating suicide. You guided young Tobias on his journey and protected him from the spirit of death which sought to destroy his life. I ask you to protect all people from the road that leads to physical and spiritual death, especially those in most danger of despair and suicide. Just as you led Tobias by the hand, lead them away from the sadness of addiction to peace and joy. O holy Raphael, whose name means, "God has healed", bring them the Lord's healing. Lord God, hear the prayer I make together with your faithful servant Raphael. Amen.

St. Raphael, pray for us!
St. Amabilis, pray for us!
St. Benedict Labre, pray for us!
St. Jude, pray for us!
St. Rita, pray for us!
St. Margaret of Cortona, pray for us!
St. Christina the Astonishing, pray for us!
St. Dymphna, pray for us!
St. Philomena, pray for us!
St. Giles, pray for us!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
All you holy saints and angels of God, pray for us!
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us!
Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us.
Amen.
