Prayer Against Suicide

January 11, 2024/in Blog/by prisoner

The Call to Prayer against suicide:
Prayers against Suicide on the 15 th of each month.
This is a call to all Laity, Religious and Clergy to enter into the battle
against any and all demonic influences of suicide through the unity of
prayer and fasting.
It is appropriate to Fast as the Lord Jesus instructs us in Mark 9:29 “And he
said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and
fasting.””… by doing so, we are subduing the ‘flesh’ in order to build up our
“right reasoning” for the Lord.
Y’all are welcome to pray as you can… the following prayers can be used:
Prayer:

Our Help is in the Name of the Lord,
Who made Heaven and Earth
Father, command that the evil voices calling for suicide be silenced
Station Your Angelic Hosts around those suffering, confused and in despair
Command Your Angels to battle the evil ones for the salvation of these
suffering souls
Hear our prayers and have mercy upon us
Father, shine Your light upon those who are struggling for hope,
hoping for a way out of desolation and despair,
guide them through the Holy Spirit
and light their way to Your Son Jesus Christ
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Father, have mercy upon me a sinner and hear my prayer.
Jesus Christ, You are Lord and Savior
Holy Spirit, drown out the terrors of this world and make known to us
salvation
Father, silence the voices of the evil ones who speak lies into our hearts

Jesus Christ, You have saved us from the terrors of Hell
Holy Spirit, show us our meaning
Father, give us the Grace of hope
Jesus Christ, it is by the gift of Your yoke that we can endure and
persevere in this life
Holy Spirit, Light our hearts on fire with the sound of angels praising the
Father
Father, send Your angels to defend us from the evil ones
Jesus Christ, Your life here is the light of Faith we desire
Holy Spirit, speak love to us all
Father, I submit my life to You
Jesus Christ, I proclaim that you are God
Holy Spirit, comfort our hearts both in times of plenty as well as times of
want

Short version of the prayer:
Father, have mercy upon me a sinner and hear my prayer.
You are the Lord and Savior
drown the terrors of this world and make known to us salvation
silence the voices of the evil ones who speak lies into our hearts
You have saved us from the terrors of Hell
show us our meaning
give us the Grace of hope
it is by the gift of Your yoke that we can endure and persevere in this life
Light our hearts on fire with the sound of angels praising the Father
send Your angels to defend us from the evil ones
Your life here is the light of Faith we desire
speak love to us all
I submit my life to You
I proclaim that you are God

Please share this prayer with others.
You are not alone In The Battle…
Nor those who are suffering.

Prayer Protocols for One Person

January 11, 2024/in Blog/by prisoner

Prayer Protocols for One Person:
This process is to have one engage the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit in daily
life as the intentional focus point. Look at this as a list of importance with the Lord God
at the top of the list, such as:

God
Spouse if married
Family
Occupation
Church
Hobbies
And so on…
All else comes after our relationship with the Trinity, and so, if we have put anyone or
anything above God, it must move down the list!
By this engagement, we will find our lives being transformed day in and day out. When
praying, remember who it is we are speaking to and to pay attention to the words we
are saying.
*Daily Rosary. Try to make it a habit / routine at some general time. If a couple days per
week it doesn’t work at that time, then look for another time during the day for it… don’t
freak out cause you miss a day due to something unforeseen. You can even use a
recorded version from the internet / iTunes. Make it a ‘joyful’ time and not miserable.
*Angelus three times per day at 6am, noon, 6pm.
*Auxilium Christianorum prayers once a day.
*Confiteor at noon.
*Act of contrition at 6pm.
*Mental Faculty Protection Prayer once per day, more if needed.
*Daily meditation from a reliable source.
*Burning of blessed candles to dispel night terrors or evil presence if needed.
*Use of Gregorian Chant played in background to dispel evil presence if needed.
*Use of blessed bells to dispel evil presence if needed.
*Use of Holy Water to dispel evil presence if needed.
*Use of Exorcised Salt & Water to dispel evil presence if needed.
*Sacrament of Reconciliation every two weeks.
*Counsel with a licensed professional Counselor / Psychologist.
*Spiritual Direction monthly with either Clergy or Certified Spiritual Director.
*Fr. Mike Schmitz Bible in a Year or the Catechism Podcast each day.
The app store has the Auxilium Christianorum free, both android and apple. Make sure
you get the one for Laity and not for Clergy.
Some folks who sleep later than 6a wake up, say the prayer and go back to sleep!

Other items:

*Praying for one member of the family for each day of the week, such as Mom on
Monday, first born on Tuesday, second born on Wednesday and so on.
*Pray the Proverbs 1-31 for each day of the month, such as Proverbs 1 on the 1 st day of
the month, Proverbs 2 on 2 nd day of the month and so on.
*Pray each day of the week against the 7 Capital sins and ask for the Virtue to fight
against each, such as:

The sin of Pride and respond with the Virtue of Humility.
The sin of Greed and respond with the Virtue of Generosity.
The sin of Lust and respond with the Virtue of Chastity.
The sin of Envy and respond with the Virtue of Kindness.
The sin of Gluttony and respond with the Virtue of Temperance.
The sin of Anger and respond with the Virtue of Meekness.
The sin of Sloth and respond with the Virtue of Diligence.
*Litany of Chastity from Echo Ministry.
