She is very low right now.

Holding it together minute by minute.

She would like to end it all.

She sees peace in death.

She doesn't feel she can fulfill her life duties anymore.

Love,

Please pray that she can reach out to those in her home.

Or to call someone on the phone.

She is deeply loved.

Love,

Thank you, stef.

I'm going to switch my tone as if she is reading right here, right now.

Friend, you are loved.

You are right to reach out for help.

God loves you very much.

Love,

Many years ago I went through very serious depression, even to the point of considering ending it all. It scared me to have thoughts like this -- I couldn't think or remember why it was wrong to take your life. It looked so perfect an answer.

I'm praying for you. Just know that it would be awful, horrible, worse than whatever you are experiencing right now. While it doesn't feel like God is helping you, His grace is sufficient for what you are going through right now. Just think about right now, not tomorrow, not the next day. Just talk to God, yell at Him, pour your heart out. He will help you through this. It's always, always hardest at night time. I know.

Just make yourself a simple promise...get through tonight. Don't do anything or think about doing anything until you have had some sleep and it's daytime.

I'm praying. Just know you would leave a HUGE empty, hole and a horrible mess and NOTHING would be better but worse for you and all the ones you love. If you have any dear ones in your life, just think of them right now.

Dear friend, you are precious in God's eyes. You are His creation! He made you in His image and likeness and He loves you.

Psalm 139:13
You formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.

God is WITH YOU. RIGHT NOW. This very minute. Cling to Him. He knows your pain and He can help.

Sending hugs and lots of prayers from Cincinnati.

I am reading and praying with you and for you, friend.

Know that you are loved deeply.

I am so glad that you reached out for help and for prayer.

Dear Guardian Angel,
Pray for this dear soul.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.


I will continue offering Memorares for you, friend. As often as I think of you. Every time I wake tonight.

You are dearly loved.

Sending prayers. May God grant her the grace to realize that all trials have an ending and that life always gets better. Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. Joseph, protector of the family, pray for us!

Please, dear sister in Christ, know that you are loved and suicide is no solution. Even if it seems as if peace is on the other side of suicide, even if it seems that God is not with you, He is with you, and peace can only be found with Him.
Please please find help

Dear friend asking for prayer:

You are beloved, not only in God's sight, but in the world that surrounds you. Your family needs you in ways they cannot explain. Your children need your faith and love and encouragement, each and every day. They can't understand or defend their faith completely without you. They need your prayers every day, just as you need theirs.

God created us to be light for the nations and salt for the Earth...one person at a time. You are that person. We can't go on if you are not with us. We need your experiences, good and bad, we need your prayers and we want to pray for you in return.

Blessed Mother, who understands the travails of this Earthly life, pray for us!

St. Anthony, you pray for us when small items are lost and when the most important issues are at stake, pray for us!

St. Pio of Pietralcina, you maintained your faith and your holy life in spite of the doubts and trials imposed by others. Pray for us, and pray especially for this daughter of God, who needs your intercession at this very moment.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, you were courageous in faith unto death and beyond. Your sister in faith needs your prayers now. Please pray for her and for all those who doubt their worth in this secular world.

All you Saints of Heaven, Holy Apostles and believers in Our Lord Jesus Christ, join us in prayer for our sister who needs us now.

A fresh, new day is here.

I was praying for you throughout the night, friend.

I know that so many others were too, even though they couldn't post and say it.

Praying my morning prayers for you and your family, friend....

O eternal God! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; the beginning and end of all things; in whom we live, and move, and have our being; prostrate before Thee in body and soul, I adore Thee with the most profound humility. I bless Thee, and give Thee thanks for all the benefits Thou hast conferred upon me; especially that Thou hast created me out of nothing, made me after Thine own image and likeness, redeemed me with the precious Blood of Thy Son, and sanctified me with Thy Holy Spirit. I thank Thee that thou hast called me into Thy Church, assisted me by Thy grace, admitted me to Thy sacraments, watched over me by Thy special providence; blessed me, notwithstanding my sins and unworthiness, with the continuance of Thy gracious protection; and for all the innumerable blessings which I owe to Thy undeserved bounty. I thank Thee especially for having preserved me during the past night, and for bringing me in safety to the beginning of another day. What return can I make to Thee, O my God, for all that Thou hast done for me? I will bless Thy holy Name, and serve Thee all the days of my life. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and let all that is within me praise His holy Name.
(St. Andrew's Missal)

St. Martha, patron saint of housewives, pray for our friend today, your feast day, along with us and beg Our Lord to enfold her in His love. You understand the daily struggles involved in keeping a home, and you are a special friend of Jesus. Pray with us for our friend's peace of mind and heart.
