I come across a lot of people in great despair and who are considering ending their life. I found this prayer the other day in a CAF book which I had never heard before and thought it would be nice to pray it on behalf of all those contemplating suicide, especially members of CAF.

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.
 
Lord, we lift up your hurting people whose lives have become so painful they do not wish to continue on. Holding on to God’s promise for them…“For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11
Help them to see a better future in Jesus name.
 
Lord, please help those people contemplating suicide. Grant them deep faith, sure hope and burning charity in their hearts. Put good people in their lives to comfort and assist them. Give them peace, joy and trust in you. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
