Pope Leo XIV’s November Prayer Intention
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.
Lord Jesus,
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.
Amen.

Day 3: National Vocation Awareness Week
Lord Jesus, you call the Marist novices to serve you in love and humility. Every vocation in the Church is holy and is given for the building up of your body the Church into a living temple. Please reveal to them the vocation you are calling them to follow, the road that will lead them to deepest intimacy with you and to the fullness of life, love and joy that are yours alone to give. Give them courage, Lord, to say yes to their vocation as Mary your mother said yes to hers. Amen.
