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!

In today’s homily, Fr. Mark Baron reflects on the harrowing story from 2 Maccabees: a mother witnessing the martyrdom of her seven sons for refusing to abandon God’s law. As Fr. Mark highlights, the woman’s courage was rooted in hope—hope in God’s providence, mercy, and the promise of eternal life. This hope allowed her to endure unimaginable suffering, guiding her sons to remain steadfast, even in the face of death (2 Maccabees 7:1–31).
