With all the excitement of the Christmas and New Years celebrations, it is easy to overlook the Pope’s intention for the month of January.
This month it is an important one, it affects the foundation of our society, the rights and dignity of each and everyone.
Here is his intention as printed in this month’s issue of ‘the Word Among Us’:
The Special Intention of Pope Francis
Dear Father,
As we start a new year, we ask you to bless us with true human fraternity. We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution. May their own rights and dignity be recognized, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family.
The Deacon Guy
