Prayer Request

A reader writes:

Two people close to me have suddenly died in the span of a few weeks. One of them was in my high school and passed in his sleep shortly before New Years of unknown cause. The other is a family friend who committed suicide due to depression that was undetected.

Please pray for the repose of their souls.

May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Mother Mary, pray for them.  We ask this, Father, through Christ our Lord.
