POPE FRANCIS ENCOURAGES US TO PRAY FOR ALL WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY COVID 19 AND TO PRAY FOR A CURE.
"Many people suffer due to the great difficulties they endure.
We can help them by accompanying them along an itinerary full of compassion which transforms people’s lives.
It brings them closer to the Heart of Christ, which welcomes all of us into the revolution of tenderness.
We pray that all those who suffer may find their way in life, allowing themselves to be touched by the Heart of Jesus."

The Pope now has a mobile application called Click To Pray for his worldwide prayer network. The app invites you to pray together with millions of others around the world for the Pope's monthly prayer intentions which address current challenges facing humanity and, because every day is different, the app offers a prayer 365 days a year to help you discover each day how God calls you to live.
Join in praying together with the Pope in his global prayer network.
This is a global initiative developed by The Pope's
Worldwide Prayer Network of the Apostleship of Prayer (Apostleship of Prayer)
to assist in the worldwide dissemination of monthly intentions of the Holy Father related to the challenges facing humanity. http://www.apostleshipofprayer.org/the-pope-video/
What is the process in the preparation of the prepared prayer intentions? The faithful from around the world suggest
papal prayer intentions to the international office of the Apostleship of Prayer in Rome. Through prayerful discernment the Apostleship selects a large number of them and submits them to the Vatican for further selection, with the Pope making the final selection.
The Vatican then entrusts to the Apostleship of Prayer the official set of monthly prayer intentions, which the Apostleship then translates into the major world languages and publishes in print and digital formats.
Founded by Jesuit seminarians in France
in 1884, the Apostleship of Prayer was established as a means of encouraging Christians to serve God and others through prayer, particularly for the needs of the Church. Since its foundation, the organization has received a monthly universal prayer intention from the Pope, but in 1929 an additional, evangelization intention was added, aimed at the faithful
in particular.
Aside from his urgent prayers, one intention will alternate between universal and evangelistic themes each month.
