In his prayer intention for November, the Pope invites us to pray that “all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation.” The pain experienced on the death of a child, Pope Francis remarks, “is so great, that there’s no word” to describe it. When facing that pain, “encouraging words” “are not helpful,” even when they are “spoken with the best of intentions.”

Pope Francis and spiritual coca-colonization in academia

A unifying theme of Pope Francis’ address was his vision for an education that not only trains minds but nurtures souls.
