A friend of mine in Utah asked for prayers for the soul of a young woman, wife, and mother of 2, who took her own life after struggling with depression. Today, Bishop Walsh mentioned the New York University student who leaped to his death on Tuesday. Billie and Andrew are in need of prayers.
The NYU student's mom started a blog to her process her unconsolable grief.
Pray for this tragedy to stop. Bring your petition to the BVM so that she can assist those considering such a deed, the grace to change their mind.
A handy resource may be of assistance for those who want to help people understand suicide:
Coping with a Suicide: Catholic Teaching and Pastoral Practice or you can listen to this booklet here.
