Pope Announces Prayer intention for November

Vatican, November 3, 2025: The Pope’s prayer intention for November focuses on those struggling with suicidal thoughts, urging the Church to accompany them with compassion and hope. He invites the faithful to pray “that those who are tempted by suicide may find support, care, and love within their communities, and be open to the beauty of life.”

This month’s intention highlights the growing concern over mental health and the need for stronger community support. It reminds believers that every life is precious and that faith communities are called to be places of understanding and healing. He encourages Catholics to reach out to those who may feel isolated, to listen without judgment, and to offer hope through simple acts of presence and kindness.

Across parishes and homes, Catholics are invited to include this intention in their daily prayers and to foster conversations about mental well-being. The Pope’s message is a reminder that faith must be lived through empathy and care, especially toward those battling despair. Through prayer, listening, and accompaniment, the Church continues to echo Christ’s message of mercy and the enduring value of every human life.
