For the prevention of suicide: Let us pray that those who are tempted to commit suicide might find the support, care and love they need in their community and be open to the beauty of life.
Let us pray that all people may respect one another and uphold the dignity of every person, never using others as objects for selfish gain. May we overcome the “use and throw” mentality and learn to value one another as children of God, created in His image and worthy of love and respect.
