My good friend is suicidal, and in dire need of prayers. He’s threatened to kill himself numerous times in the past, and has done so again just now. I don’t know if he’s gone through with it.
His name is Jon Hunt. He’s eighteen. He isn’t the nicest person, he’s rude, selfish, bitter, and stubborn, and he isn’t Catholic. But he’s a good friend, and he’s one of God’s children. Please help me pray for him. Thank you.
 
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 death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for Jon Hunt!

Dear Jesus, please keep this young man safe tonight, and give him comfort as he struggles. Holy Spirit, lead this young man toward peace, toward the true presence of Jesus. Send people into his life who can help him learn not to be bitter and selfish and to turn to Christ for his purpose and direction.

Mother Mary, this young man is someone’s son. Please help him as you helped your own son in his hour of pain and suffering.
 
Dear Lord, please help heal this young man and help him see that life is a precious gift that should not be foresaken, Amen…
 
St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental and nervous disorders, pray for kirisake’s friend, Jon. :signofcross:

Kirisake, If your friend is threatening suicide, please call 911 and ask for assistance for him.
Dear Lord, please help the friend of kirisake to open himself to Your love and mercy. May he come to celebrate his relationship with You and to recognize and uphold the value of life.
May he meet and be befriended by others who share these values and may his life become a testament to Your love. Amen.

For your good friend kirisake:

***O Lord and Giver of Life, may we all recognize the great value of the life you have given to each one of us. But look in a special way on those who no longer find any meaning in the life they are leading. * *You can see every movement of the human heart and you know what depths of despair, discouragement, frustration, loneliness, or self-hate have led them to the edge they are standing on. * *Have mercy on them and open their eyes to see that the road has not ended. Fill their hearts with new hope. Place people in their lives who will love them with your own love, and who will give them a reason to live again. Make them know that they are worthwhile and needed. * *****And Lord, if you wish to use me as your instrument in touching someone, feel free to do so.
Amen.
***from “Queen of Apostles Prayerbook”

***AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. ***
***Benedicta tu in mulieribus, ***
***et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. ***
***Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. ***
**Amen.

**God be with you and with your dear friend.

Jesus, this poor person is in your hands. Please help him.
AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.
 
For your friend

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious 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, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do 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
 
Prayer to St. Raphael to Intercede for

I ask you to protect this young man from the road that leads to physical and spiritual death. O holy Raphael, whose name means, “God has healed”, bring him the Lord’s healing. Lord God, hear the prayer I make together with your faithful servant Raphael. Amen.

Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us.
Amen.
