Pope’s prayer intentions

For the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church

Pope Francis entrusts his Worldwide Prayer Network each month with prayer intentions that express his great concern for humanity and for the mission of the Church. His monthly prayer intention is a worldwide call to transform our prayer into specific actions; it is a compass for a mission of compassion for the world.

 Monthly Prayer

Jesus, Bread of Life 

Every time we receive you in the Eucharist, 

You come to give new meaning to our weaknesses

and You remind us how valuable we are in your eyes.

Through frequent participation of this sacrament, 

we unite more and more to you, 

and we assimilate to your way of living, 

your ability to break yourself when giving yourself

 to your brothers,

 and your ability to respond to evil with good. 

Give us the courage to look past ourselves 

and to bow down with love 

towards the weakness of others.

 Amen

Offering Prayer

Good Father, I know you are with me.

 Here I am on this new day. 

Place my heart once more

 next to the Heart of your Son Jesus,

 who is giving himself for me 

and who comes to me in the 

Eucharist. 

May your Holy Spirit make me his friend and apostle, 

available for his mission of compassion.

 I place in your hands my joys and hopes, 

my works and sufferings, everything that I am and have,

 in communion with my brothers and sisters of this 

Worldwide Prayer Network. 

With Mary, I offer you my day for the mission of the Church 

and for the prayer intentions of the Pope and my Bishop for 

this month. 

Amen.

 

Prayer Intention of the Conference of Bishops

Por los abuelos y abuelas, para que la sociedad valore sus vidas, su sabiduría y el inmenso aporte que han hecho y que siguen haciendo para la edificación de un mundo mejor.

Attitudes in your daily life

Celebration of the Eucharist 

“We cannot forget the great number of Christians who, throughout the world and in two thousand years of history, have resisted to the death for the defense of the Eucharist; and how many, still today, risk their lives to participate in Sunday mass. 'Without Sunday we cannot live.' If we cannot celebrate the Eucharist, we cannot live and our Christian life would die." (Pope Francis). 

Is there anything you can improve upon in your participation of the daily or Sunday Eucharist?

Listen to the Word of God 

“The Word of God nourishes and renews our faith. Let us put it back at the center of our prayer and spiritual life! At the center is the Word that reveals to us what God is like, and it draws us close to Him.” (Pope Francis). 

Become aware of the reality that the Word of God is an essential part of prayer.

Sharing his life. 

“The Eucharist heals because it unites us with Jesus. It makes us assimilate to His way of life, His ability to break away and give Himself to His brothers and sisters, and His ability to respond to evil with good.It gives us the courage to get out of ourselves and to move with love towards the weakness of others as God does with us” (Pope Francis). 

Who around you needs the bread of your presence, of your company?
