Please pray for my suicidal friend, Joel. He’s one of the nicest guys in the world and also one of many responsibly for bringing me back to Christ. He also has several mental disorders that torment him a lot. He’s become addicted to his medications and suicidal. A few weeks ago, he took a ton of medicine and overdosed. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with renal failure. He recovered and things seemed okay for a while. Yesterday morning, he was chatting with our mutual friends. He wasn’t sounding right so they called 911. He had the door barricaded and he had slit his wrists and neck by the time he was found. They had to paddle him to keep him alive. He’s now in the mental hospital again.

I don’t want him to try a third time.
 
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
though burdened by my sins,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in your mercy,
hear and answer me.
Amen.

Amen. Ask also the Holy Spirit to give him the gift of fortitude and of counsel.
Today ?ve started a novena to the Holy Spirit, but I have it in Spanish. Anyway, in EWTN there is a short novena to the Holy Spirit. It finishes on Saturday before Pentecostes.
 
Hail Mary conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

I pray that God may help ease his pain and take away his mental afflictions.
 
Thank you all. I called his hospital today to speak to him. He’s sounding well. At the same time, he usually sounds good when he’s in a good mood but I can never predict the bad moods. He’s promised he’s going to call friends, pray and call 911 if he ever feels suicidal again. I’m just hoping he makes good on that promise. I thank you for the prayers. I’ll keep praying as well.

Lord, please heal Joel and help him to keep strong when he has suicidal thoughts. May he cling to you and keep centered on you. May he find peace through a deep prayer life and a devout sacramental life. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

I have a Saint Dymphna chaplet that I will pray on today.

He is in my thoughts.

St’s Dymphna,Anthony, Agatha and Jude be with this poor wretched soul who feels so despondent and depressed.
Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
PRAYER OF ST. GREGORY THE GREAT
Acclaim To The Suffering Christ
O Lord, You received affronts
without number from Your blasphemers,
yet each day You free captive souls
from the grip of the ancient enemy.

You did not avert Your face
from the spittle of perfidy,
yet You wash souls in saving waters.

You accepted Your scourging without murmur,
yet through your meditation
You deliver us from endless chastisements.

You endured ill-treatment of all kinds,
yet You want to give us a share
in the choirs of angels in glory everlasting.

You did not refuse to be crowned with thorns,
yet You save us from the wounds of sin.

In your thirst You accepted the bitterness of gall,
yet You prepare Yourself to fill us with eternal delights.

You kept silence under the derisive homage
rendered You by Your executioners,
yet You petition the Father for us
although You are his equal in Divinity.

You came to taste death,
yet You were the Life
and had come to bring it to the dead.

Amen.

PRAYER IN HONOUR OF
ST. DYMPHNA
Lord, our God,
you graciously chose St. Dymphna
as patroness of those afflicted with mental
and nervous disorders.
She is thus an inspiration
and a symbol of charity
to the thousands who ask her intercession.

Please grant, Lord,
through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr,
relief and consolation to all suffering such trials,
and especially those for whom we pray.

(Here you mention those for whom you wish to pray.)

We beg You, Lord,
to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf.
Grant all those for whom we pray
patience in their sufferings
and resignation to Your divine will.
Please fill them with hope,
and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.

We ask this through Christ our Lord
Who suffered agony in the garden.

Amen.
 
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen
 
Praying for you and your friend Joel. God has placed you in his life to intercede for him. Peace be with you. I pray that God will give you the strength to be there for your dear friend.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

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.
