Pope Leo XIV issued his prayer intention for November, inviting the faithful to pray for the prevention of suicide and for people living in darkness and despair.
The Pope invites the faithful to join him in prayer that those who struggle with suicidal thoughts may find in their community the support, care and love they need and be open to the beauty of life. Pope Leo begins his prayer to the Lord, who himself called the weary and burdened to come to him and find peace in their hearts, that God may reach all people who live in darkness and despair, especially those who struggle with suicidal thoughts.
“May they always find,” continued the Holy Father, “a community that welcomes them, listens and accompanies them. May the Lord grant us all an attentive and compassionate heart capable of offering consolation and support, as well as the necessary professional help.”
Let us pray daily for the Holy Father’s prayer intention.
