Have You Ever Contemplated Suicide?

You had better read this first, for the trauma that you are
suffering temporarily today is nothing compared the torture after.
Please reconsider your options since eternity is forever.



1Corinthians 3:16:
"
Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 
But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are."

Genesis 1:26-27:
"And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them."

How could anyone endeavor to kill that which had been created in "the image of GOD"?

For what purpose are we here on earth?
We have been put here in order to save our immortal souls. This world is not our home.
We are citizens of Heaven, not of earth. We are going to heaven.
In this life we are just packing our bags for the journey.
Our destination is Heaven. Our cargo is our soul. We have only two options, and the choice is ours.
We can either spend our eternity in the presence of the Beatific Vision, or we can spend it in a very unpleasant place.
I choose the former.
Can we save our souls by a commission of suicide?

What does Holy Scripture tell us?

The fifth commandment:
Exodus 20:13 "You shall not kill."




"We have an epidemic of suicides, especially of young people."
A quote from Father Luke Zimmer.

"Suicide is fast becoming the number one killer of our young people."
A quote from Father John Corapi.

"Be not afraid."
A quote from Pope John Paul II.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary condition.

Life is so short. Eternity is so long.

GOD giveth and only GOD can taketh away.

GOD give me the strength to accept things I cannot change, to change
      things that I can and to know the difference between them.

Hold up your hand and say on each finger,
"I AM BEAUTIFUL THANK GOD." 
A quote from Father Dermot Dwyer.
