My dear Frens,

I just heard from an old friend of mine who rushed himself to a psychiatric hospital this morning rather than ending his depressing and exhausting life.

Bernard, married to Catherine, is the father of 5 kids of which only the youngest still remain with their parents.

He was always highly suspicious of anything from the mass media and they raised the kids with board games, books and an occasional beamed movie rather than leaving them with a television.

He always happily took these bright young fellows to Church and he really was the only age-related person I know to be that pious.

Here’s a translation of his wife’s call for help:

Dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to pray especially for us. Completely exhausted and despondent, I lived through a night from hell, to the point of active suicidal desires, which were only stopped by the unavailability of material means. Thank God we lived on the 1st floor and didn't own a gun. This time, my faith wasn't enough to repel them. So I went to the hospital for help. I have a rather mild pathology, but they confirmed that I had done the right thing in coming. So I'm going to stay there for a few days. Please pray for me, for Catherine, who's home alone, and for Florent, to whom I'm sending an image of a counter-testimony... Considering the time I spend entrusting myself to God and the result! Thank you so much. Fraternally yours. Bernard.

Please, join me during our daily prayer to pray for Ben’s full recovery, both physical and moral.🙏🏻
