"We will open our hearts to the cries of the poor..." (Chapter Statement)

The loss of a child may be the worst pain a father and mother can experience. There’s no word that could possibly describe such profound grief. Pope Francis asks us to join him in prayer this month precisely for those parents who have lost a child.

Pope Francis invites us in this video to listen in a particular way to those fathers and mothers who suffer this heartbreaking loss.


"Let us 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."

Post your prayer in our sacred space here.
