This is Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of November Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of November is for the prevention of suicide. “Let us pray that those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts might find the support, care, and love they need in their community and be open to the beauty of life,” the pope said in a video released Nov. 4. According to a press release, this month’s video was made in collaboration with the Diocese of Phoenix. In the video, Pope Leo recites an original prayer written specifically for this month’s prayer intention. Here is his full prayer: You who invite the weary and burdened to come to you and rest in your heart, we ask you this month for all the people who live in darkness and despair, especially for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. May they always find a community that welcomes them, listens to them, and accompanies them. Give all of us an attentive and compassionate heart, capable of offering comfort and support, also with the necessary professional help. May we know how to be close with respect and tenderness, helping to heal wounds, build bonds, and open horizons. Together may we rediscover that life is a gift, that there is still beauty and meaning, even in the midst of pain and suffering. We are well aware that those who follow you are also vulnerable to sadness without hope. We ask you to always make us feel your love so that, through your closeness to us, we can recognize and proclaim to all the infinite love of the Father who leads us by the hand to renew our trust in the life you give us. The video prayer intention is promoted by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, which raises awareness of monthly papal prayer intentions. This article was originally published by CNA.
