The Pope's Prayer Intentions

Each month, Pope Francis shares his prayer intentions with the Worldwide Prayer Network, expressing his deep concerns for humanity and the Church’s mission. These intentions serve as a global call to action, urging us to translate our prayers into “concrete actions”, guiding us toward a mission of compassion for the world.

It shows us how to come together every month, using both prayers and actions, to make the world more caring and humane.

These prayer intentions are the outcome of a thorough discernment process within the Church, involving input from various dicasteries, congregations, and services of the Holy See from different countries. After receiving these proposals, the Pope dedicates time to prayerfully consider the challenges facing humanity and the Church’s mission.

Following this reflection, he entrusts his twelve prayer intentions to all the faithful, with regard to the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church.  These intentions serve as principles guiding our lives and mission.
