as a moderator for a primarily youth site, once in a while I get messages from the participants looking for advice. without going into details, I ask that you keep Jimmy in your thoughts and prayers. this thirteen year old is feeling suicidal, and I have suggested that he contact the local suicide hotline in his area, or talk to an available adult where he lives.our site is still feeling the loss of Emmanuel, who committed suicide at the age of seventeen a year or so ago. it's deja vu all over again. Jimmy sent the message on Sunday, I got it today. pray that it's not too late. pray also, that I can get my own laptop with Internet so there isn't all these gaps between communications. I need one more than ever.
Much Love,
Jonn

Prayer for James.
By apostolic authority we bind the forces of Satan in this 13 year old boy's life.

I offer my prayers through the intercession of St. Dymphna. Lord have mercy on Jimmy!

good news!
heard from Jimmy, he's still with us. he admits that he was about to do it, but then didn't. I believe your prayers helped. still, I think that he is still in need of Divine protection. I have already sent him a PM with counsel.
Much Love,
Jonn

Almighty God, please have mercy and come to Jimmy's aid soon.

And please provide Jonn with his own laptop with Internet.

Please, hear our prayers.

For Jimmy and also for you John...

0 Christ our God, who at all times and at every hour, both in heaven and on earth, are worshipped and glorified, long;suffering and plenteous in mercy and compassion; who love the just and show mercy to the sinners; who call all men to salvation through the promise of the blessings to come: Do you, the same Lord, receive also our supplications at this present time, and direct our lives according to your commandments. Sanctify our souls; purify our bodies; set our minds right; clear up our thoughts, and deliver us from every sorrow, evil and distress. Surround us with your holy Angels so that being guarded and guided by their presence, we may arrive at the unity of the faith and the knowledge of your ineffable glory; for blessed are you unto the ages of ages. Amen.
