The Catholic ritual of Sancta Missa is an essential part of the faith, emphasizing the importance of divine assistance for the souls of the departed. This ritual highlights the roles of saints and angels as intermediaries who guide and comfort those who have left this world. The poignant plea encourages these celestial beings to envelop the souls in care and elevate them toward heaven. It reflects the deep desire for mercy and support during the transition from life to the afterlife.

Mitch Albom's book, "The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto," encapsulates this sentiment through a resonant call for spiritual support. It underscores the belief that the community of saints and angels plays a crucial role in the afterlife journey, ensuring the souls are not alone as they ascend to meet the divine. This theme resonates with readers, highlighting the interconnectedness of those on Earth with the heavenly realm, and the reassurance that faith provides in moments of loss.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
