  1. You have to trust them to the mercy of God. I know of a couple of people who committed suicide, both suffered from clinical depression, both were on medication. Both decided they didn't want to take their meds anymore. Because of the depression, you cannot say they were in full control of their faculties. Therefore they may not be fully culpable for their actions. Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 2282: Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, ... can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide.
  2. The example of evidence fromHoly Scripture is the baptismal commission in Matthew 28:19-20. It is manifest from the narratives of the Evangelists that Christ only made the great truth known to the Twelve step by step. First He taught them to recognize in Himself the Eternal Son of God. When His ministry was drawing to a close, He promised that the Father would send another Divine Person, the Holy Spirit, in His place. Finally, after His resurrection, He revealed the doctrine in explicit terms, bidding them go and teach all nations, "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matt., xxviii, 19). The force of this passage is decisive. That "the Father" and "the Son" are distinct Persons follows from the terms themselves, which are mutually exclusive. The mention of the Holy Spirit in the same series, the names being connected one with the other by the conjunctions "and ... and", is evidence that we have here a Third Person coordinate with the Father and the Son.
