A wonderful young man who would have turned 22 on New Year’s Day, decided to end his life yesterday. Peter was the youngest of 4 sons, was an Eagle Scout and had been active in the Church until he moved away in July to finish his last two years of college.

The gun that Peter used belonged to one of his roommates/Friends who is having a very difficult time with this.

Peter’s best friend who is discerning a call to the priesthood is devastated.

His family has not come to terms with the reality of the situation and is in shock. His mother who deals with depression is blaming herself and, I am afraid, this could push her over the edge.

All of us in the parish who watch Peter grow up, worked with him in Scouts, CYM and Young Adults are heartbroken.

Please pray for all concerned.

I am praying for Peter, his family, friends and all those who knew him…
 
Praying for the repose of his soul and for all of those saddened by his suicide.
 
Suicide. So harsh. I’ll pray for those involved. I really will.
 
Precious Lord we pray for Peter’s soul and all the many who are at a loss as to why this could happen to such a wonderful young man…only you know. Bring consolation and hope to those grieving and protect those vulnerable to depression and bring a greater good out of what seems so horrible we humbly pray, amen.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayer for Those Who Have Committed Suicide

Bless, O God of eternal life,
all who have died
by their own hand.
Grant them peace
from their inner turmoil
and the compassion of your love.
Comfort those who mourn
their loved ones.
Strengthen them to face the questions of pain,
the guilt and anger,
the irreparable loss.
Help us to reach out in love
to others who prefer death
to the choices of life
and to their families who grieve.
Amen.
 
Lord have mercy on Peter’s soul.
Please give strength and consolation to family, friends, and to all affected by Peter’s tragic action.
 
Praying for the repose of Peter’s soul…

*Réquiem æternam dona ei, Dómine,

et lux perpétua lúceat ei.

Anima eius, et ánimæ ómnium fidélium defunctórum,

per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace.

Amen*

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen
 
:signofcross:

God, lover of souls, You hold dear what You have made and spare
all things, for they are Yours. Look gently upon Your servant Peter,
who died by suicide, and by the Blood of the cross forgive his sins
and failings. Remember the faith of those who mourn and satisfy their
longing for that day when all will be made new again in Christ, our
Risen Lord, who lives and reigns with You forever and ever.
Amen

Father of all mercies and God of consolation, You love us eternally and
transform the shadows of death into the dawn of life. Look upon their
grief; be their refuge and comfort so that their sorrow may turn into the
Light and Peace of Your Presence.

In dying, Your Son destroyed death; in rising he restored life. Grant
that at the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may be found in his
company with all our brothers and sisters. There, You shall wipe away
every tear. We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
