Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad

I had intended to write tonight asking for prayers for a special intention of mine and I still ask for those prayers. Please, if you read this, ask St. Rita to intercede for my intention. She knows what it’s about. And thank you.

But before I got to writing, I got a call from a young man who is a friend of mine. He asked if I could come and sit with him. He recently got out of the Marine Corps and tonight, he received word that another of his comrades committed the sin of suicide.

He tells me the stats are at 44 a day. A DAY!

I am starting to wonder whether the US service branches are demonically oppressed. This is not the first of his friends to commit suicide.

Either way, this has to end.

Young men are going off to serve their country. Brave men. Strong and true. And something is happening to them. This particular deceased was 21 years-old.

Young men are killing themselves and it must end.

I’ve had my own experience and I’ve written about it before. My older brother took his life during the Coof lockdowns. I will never understand it but at the end of the day I just kind of miss my brother even if I want to kill him for what he did.

So, prayers all around today, please. Pray for my intention for sure. I could use it. But pray for my friend and for the repose of the soul of his friend and for an end to this demonic nonsense.

Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner!
