Jesus to the Suicidal

My Dear Beloved Child,

I love you and I, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit have loved you from all eternity as the prophet Jeremiah told you, “With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you” (Jer. 31:3).  Please, my child, reject the thoughts that urge you to take your own life.  These thoughts do not come from my Holy Spirit.  Your life is a gift not just to you but to all those others who are surrounding your earthly journey.  You were created to live in joyful union with Us forever. 

 I know that life on earth can be difficult.  Remember that I walked the roads of your world.  I sweated blood in the garden as I grieved over so many souls who would reject the Gift of My Precious Blood of Redemption that I was about to pour out on the Cross.  Please do not reject My Love! You think that you have sinned too much to be forgiven, but that is a lie! My Mercy is Infinite—that means it is greater than all the sins that can possibly be committed combined.  Even if you were the only one I would have poured out all My Blood to reassure you of my love and my mercy for you.  

 I created you in my own image and likeness and I gave you a mission on the earth which is yours alone and it is irreplaceable.  I am with you every moment.  Call on Me.  We will walk together through the sorrows of earth to the eternal joy that is awaiting you.  Call also on my Mother, Mary because I entrusted you to her Motherly Care as I was dying on the cross for you (John 19:27).  Call on all the Angels and Saints to join their prayers to yours because they are your invisible companions on the journey to eternity.  Console My Heart by accepting the cross of your earthly sorrows and trusting in My everlasting Love for you.   "Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I love you" (Isaia 43:4).

All my Love,

 Jesus Christ

Guardian Angels Want to Help Us

Every October 2nd the Catholic Church celebrates a feast in honor of the Guardian Angels.  In the Gospel of St. Matthew Jesus tells His Apostles, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you their angels in heaven always behold the face of my Father in heaven.  For the Son of Man came to save what was lost” (Mt 18:10).


 It is very important to realize that every person has his or her own personal Guardian Angel sent by God just to watch over each of us and to inspire us to make the choices that will lead us to the everlasting joy of eternal union with God and our loved ones.  Also each person who is contemplating suicide or who has already committed suicide has a Guardian Angel.  Angels are outside of time and they have the power to bring the consolation of God to people.  We see this in the Agony in the Garden where Jesus was in such great anguish and where God the Father sent Him an angel of consolation (cf. Luke 22:43).  St. Padre Pio who was a Catholic priest who died in 1968 had the gift of always being able to see his own and other peoples’ Guardian Angels.  St. Padre Pio used to receive letters from people all over the world in many different languages.  If he did not know the language of the letter he had received, his Guardian Angel would translate it for him.  There is a whole book about this called Send Me Your Guardian Angel by Fr. Alessio Parente.  What is important to the members of LAST to know is that Padre Pio used to advise people to send him their Guardian Angels.  We can still do this now that Padre Pio is a Saint in Heaven.  I can say, “Dear Guardian Angel, please go to Padre Pio and ask him to pray for (whoever God has particularly put upon my heart).  Of course we can also pray directly to Padre Pio or more especially directly to God, but God likes it when we make use of intercessors because it is humble and respectful and increases the love power of our request.
