In the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis began releasing video messages to illustrate his monthly prayer intention.
Today, the March video was released by the Apostleship of Prayer and is available here. It focuses on his prayer for persecuted Christians.
The Holy Father’s prayer intention for March is: “That persecuted Christians may be supported by the prayers and material help of the whole Church.»
