Each year, Pope Francis sets prayers intentions for the months of that year. I always find it interesting to see the prayer intentions that Pope Francis chooses. His prayers reflect his concern and care for the whole world. These are the Prayer intention for the last three months:
June - The Way of the Heart - We pray that all those who suffer may find their way in life, allowing themselves to be touched by the Heart of Jesus. (We all suffer in different ways, don’t we? But, there are those in our world who suffer in such a terrible intense way that they have become lost in life, that they do not let Jesus to touch their heart. We pray for those who are enduring such terrible suffering.)
July - Our Families - We pray that today's families may be accompanied with love, respect and guidance. (Family life is particularly challenging right now in the days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We pray for our families. We pray for our children and youth who face the school year with a lot of fears and uncertainty. We pray that the members of our families may treat each other with love. We pray that they may respect each other. We pray that they may turn to God for guidance on their journey of faith.)
August - The Maritime World - We pray for all those who work and make their living from the sea, among them sailors, fishermen and their families. (Our fishermen have faced many challenges in recent years, with over-fishing and environmental destruction creating many problems and difficulties. We pray for our fishermen and our sailors and all who make their livelihood from the sea.)
