Mass for Suicide Healing and Remembrance
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. At this special Mass, we pray for all who have been lost to suicide, for survivors of suicide, 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 suicide 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.
(Order of Christian Funerals)
