The full text of his intention is below:
The family ought to be protected.
It faces many dangers: the fast pace of life, stress…
Sometimes, parents forget to play with their children.
The Church needs to encourage families and stay at their side, helping them to discover ways that allow them to overcome all of these difficulties.
Let us pray that today’s families may be accompanied with love, respect, and guidance, and especially, that they may be protected by the State.
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network of the Apostleship of Prayer developed «The Pope Video» initiative to assist in the worldwide dissemination of monthly intentions of the Holy Father in relation to the challenges facing humanity.
