(EWTN) In his latest in a series of videos, Pope Francis focuses his monthly intention on families in difficulty, praying that they may receive the help they need and that children may grow up in a healthy environment.
“The family is one of the most precious assets of humanity but is it not perhaps one of the most vulnerable?” –Pope Francis said in this latest video of prayer intentions. When families are exposed to economic, health or other difficulties, the children grow up “in an environment of sadness,” said Pope Francis, sharing his universal prayer intention for this month, that families in need “may receive the necessary support and that children can grow up healthy and in peaceful environments.”
Pope Francis prayer video is the latest in a new series of short clips, dedicated to his monthly prayer intentions called ‘The Pope Video’ an initiative of the Jesuit run global prayer network in collaboration with the Vatican Television Center, marking the first time any Pope’s monthly prayer intentions have been featured on video.
January’s video Pope Francis highlighted the importance of a peaceful, loving dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions, hold in common such as the figure of God and love;
February’s video Pope Francis reinforced his message of ‘caring for our common home’ and discovering ‘a new way of living.’
“Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all, we are all children of God, “Pope Francis said in his message released in January.
