Please pray for my grandfather, who passed away due to suicide last night. He was not in the right state of mind when he did this, so please pray for the salvation of his soul and the healing of my family. Thank you.
 
Eternal Rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

And may God comfort his family, and wipe every tear from their eyes, until they meet again in heaven.
Amen.
 
I’m so sorry to hear about this, friend. May God bless your grandfather and bring him safe home into His arms.
 
@mystary: I am so sorry for your loss.

Prayer for Those who Have Lost
Their Lives to Suicide and for All of Us


Merciful Father, Who creates in love, we
entrust to Your hands those who have
lost their lives by suicide.

With the whole Church, we pray for those
who have taken their own lives.

As You command us, we do not despair
of their eternal salvation, convinced and
sure with St. Paul that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in
all creation, will be able to separate us from
the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.


God the Father, so rich in mercy, by paths
known to You alone, You find ways to provide
opportunity for repentance for each of us – as
St. John Vianney assured a widow fearing
for her husband:

I tell you he is saved. He is in Purgatory, and
You must pray for him. Between the parapet
of the bridge and the water he had time to make
an Act of Contrition. Our Blessed Lady obtained
that grace for him.


Bring healing to our broken, desperate world.
Comfort those who are lonely. Give those who
are depressed and despairing the grace to seek
help. Inspire all of us to reach out in love and
solidarity to everyone we meet.

By Your Divine Mercy, reign in the power
of evil. Build us into living stones of a culture
of life, who demonstrate in both deed and
word the truth that every life, no matter its
conditions, is precious and unrepeatable.

Lord, speak to every human heart and fill it
with the conviction: I am wanted; I have a task
in history; I am accepted, I am loved; it is good
that I exist; it is good to be a human being.

Your love crushes all loneliness and isolation.
May every human heart experience Your love,
and may each of us be Your love for others.
Amen.

Prayer for the Grieving

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 our grief; be our refuge
and comfort so that our sadness and 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 our brothers and sisters.
There, You shall wipe away every tear.

Through Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

The righteous cry out, the Lord hears
and he rescues them from all their afflictions.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
saves those whose spirit is crushed.

PSALM 34:18-20

O LORD, look not upon our sins but upon the faith of your church. “And Christ is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (I John 2:2).

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.

So sorry for the loss of your grandfather.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us,

but with great confidence, submit ourselves to your holy will,
which is love and Mercy itself.
Amen.
