Coping with Suicide: Relatable Quotes are Relatable

A great man is not a man so strong that he feels less than other men; he is a man so strong that he feels more.
- G K Chesterton, Heretics Chpt 5 

O Lord, hear my voice when I call:
have mercy and answer.
Of You my heart has spoken:
"Seek his face."

It is Your face, O Lord, that I seek;
hide not Your face.
Dismiss nor Your servant in anger;
You have been my help.
Do not abandon or forsake me, O God of my help!
Though father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
Instruct me, Lord, in Your way;
on an even path lead me.
When they lie in ambush, protect me
from my enemy's greed.
False witnesses rise against me,
breathing out fury.
I am sure I will see the Lord's goodness
in the land of the living.
Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart.
Hope in the Lord!
Ps 26:7-14
Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith; the Lord will not abandon you!"
Pope Francis
