To those who are able - my family could really use any prayer support at the moment. One of my family has revealed that they have made 2 serious attempts on their life since Christmas. Not only has this come as a complete shock but I do not understand why the family was not informed. I think it is must be to do with patient privacy. Anyhow, the important thing now is to pray. I have had a really tough Lent and this only strengthens my resolve to join any sufferings with others and with Jesus. Life just never stands still, does it.
No, life does not stand still. Good point. My prayers for your family. Very hateful that the family was not informed. Prayers for all concerned, especially for the family member suffering, but who was spared, thank God.
Thankyou. The knowledge that We are not alone is consoling. Why are so many young people believing the lies of Satan at the moment ?
Prayers for your family Bella. Young people today having grown up with helicopter parents and the pressures of total conformity to the destruction of natural law by their peers have a very rough time if their faith is not very firm. The mob mentality of total tolerance these days with kids is incredible. My wifes family would never openly talk about anything like that so I can relate to what you are going through finding out so long after the fact. Mine on the other hand would gossip endlessly over such a thing.
Pray especially the First Sorrowful Mystery the Agony in the Garden for poor souls tormented by suicidal thoughts and actions.
I am so sorry. I know you suffer as well as your family member. I hope it may console you even just a bit to tell you my heart goes out to you. I will pray and keep you on my mind. May God the Father protect and console you and your family. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. God bless you.....
Did this right away for Bella's young relative. Bella, praying for this person and for you and your family!
