Intention de prière du pape : pour la pastorale de la santé mentale

Pope Leo XIV has released his prayer intention for October 2026, calling for the development of pastoral care for mental health throughout the Church. The intention aims to help communities overcome the stigma and discrimination faced by people living with mental illnesses.

The prayer intention asks for support for those struggling with anxiety, depression, or fear. It also seeks strength and compassion for the professionals, volunteers, and relatives who care for those with mental health challenges. Through this intention, the Pope encourages the Church to become a safe, inclusive space that listens without judgment and accompanies those in need.
