Pope Leo issues prayer intentions for mental health and spiritual comfort

Pope Leo has issued new prayer intentions focusing on mental health and spiritual comfort. In his monthly intention, the Pope calls for support for mental health ministry, urging the community to welcome those suffering from anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses. He specifically asks for prayers to reduce stigma and discrimination, and for strength for the professionals and family members who care for those in need.

Additionally, marking the feast day of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary, the Pope has encouraged the faithful to recite the Holy Rosary. He described the prayer as a source of comfort and a safe refuge during life's difficulties, while also reiterating his previous calls to pray the Rosary for world peace.
