Suicide and Deliverance

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time that serves as a powerful reminder that we must look out for loved ones, friends, and family who are at risk for this leading cause of death. Father Mark Baron, MIC, discusses the spiritual warfare that is often at the heart of suicidal ideation and what can be done about it. He is then joined by Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, and Dr. Matthew Breuninger for a conversation on the vital role of faith in mental health therapy.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!

Fr. Mark reminds us that Advent is not Christmas—it is a penitential season meant to awaken our souls, sharpen our spiritual vision, and prepare us to stand before the Lord. Across the 24 Churches that make up the Catholic Church, Advent (or its equivalent) is lived with deep seriousness: 40-day fasts, vegan disciplines, weeks of total abstinence, and long seasons of preparation. Their witness challenges us in the Roman Rite to rediscover what this season truly is: a call to repentance, renewal, and readiness.
