Every month, the Pope entrusts his Prayer Network with prayer intentions that reflect his deep concerns for humanity and the mission of the Church. His monthly prayer intention serves a global call to transform our prayers into “concrete actions” and as a transformation of the heart; it acts as a compass for a mission of compassion for the world. It proposes a path to mobilize us each month, through prayer and service, to build a more humane and caring world and to cultivate a personal and communal attitude that transforms our environment.

These prayer intentions are the product of a long process of discernment within the Church, in various countries around the world, encompassing proposals from various dicasteries, congregations and services of the Holy See. When the process concludes, after several months, the Pope, having received the proposals, takes time to pray and discern with regard to the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church. He then entrusts his twelve prayer intentions to all the faithful. They are guidelines for our life and mission.
