LarryD at Acts of the Apostasy has the dreadful news that his nineteen year old nephew took his life. I would regard it as a personal favor for prayers to be offered for LarryD, the young man’s family and the repose of the soul of the young man. I have long believed that before we reach our end, God throws a rope to us. Let us hope that the young man grasped it before his soul left his body.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.
Praying for him and all touched by this event. This scourge touches more people than we know
I offer prayers at every mass I attend for some young men who died too young in similar circumstances. I will add this young man to those prayers. I believe God’s mercy flows on us across time as well as space. And future prayers affect the past. Our prayers unite with Our Lady of Sorrows. She will not forget.
It seems to me that suicides have more than just one victim.
Besides the dead, there’s the also the effect it has on the loved
loved ones left behind, wondering what happened, why, what if…
That would be an especially horrible form of grief.
I will remember LarryD and his family in my prayers.
Oh Lord Jesus, have mercy. Please have mercy and comfort the grief stricken. Amen.
Don, thank you for the kind words and prayers. Be assured they are greatly appreciated.
God be with you Larry. It is not for nothing that we call this the Vale of Tears.
Praying for LarryD, his family and the repose of his son’s soul. This Is heartbreaking.
Correction his nephews soul.
Done…the praying for the youth of today as this tragedy takes many…
Offering up my rosaries this weekend for the repose of his soul.
To the family, my deepest condolences.
Jesus I trust in you.
God is merciful.
