September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month and today is World Su***de Prevention Day. All are invited to a special Mass on September 12, to pray for all who have been lost to su***de, for survivors of su***de and for all who have lost a family member, friend or colleague. We also pray that, as Church and as individuals, we can help prevent su***de by raising awareness and knowing how to help those in need.
Prayer:
God, lover of souls,
you hold dear what you have made
and spare all things, for they are yours.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline
