This month, the Pope is praying especially for Christians being persecuted because of their faith.
The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for March.
The Holy Father’s universal prayer intention for March is: “That families in need may receive the necessary support and that children may grow up in healthy and peaceful environments.»
His intention for evangelisation is: “That those Christians who, on account of their faith, are discriminated against or are being persecuted, may remain strong and faithful to the Gospel, thanks to the incessant prayer of the Church.»
