VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis is praying this month for those countries that are taking in a great number of refugees.

The Pope’s intentions for November were announced by the Apostleship of Prayer.

The Holy Father’s universal prayer intention for November is: “That the countries which take in a great number of displaced persons and refugees may find support for their efforts which show solidarity.”

His intention for evangelisation is: “That within parishes, priests and lay people may collaborate in service to the community without giving in to the temptation of discouragement.”--Zenit
