Pope’s Prayer Intentions<br />
Each month, Pope Francis asks us to pray as a global community.<br />
SEPTEMBER <strong>2023</strong> | For people living on the margins<br />
We pray for those persons living on the margins <strong>of</strong><br />
society, in inhumane life conditions; may they not be<br />
overlooked by institutions and never considered <strong>of</strong><br />
lesser importance.<br />
OCTOBER <strong>2023</strong> | For the Synod<br />
We pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening<br />
and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level, and allow<br />
herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the<br />
peripheries <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />
NOVEMEBR <strong>2023</strong> | For the Pope<br />
We pray for the Holy Father; as he fulfills his mission,<br />
may he continue to accompany the flock entrusted to<br />
him, with the help <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit.<br />
