Pope Francis begins 2025 by asking all Catholics to pray for this intention

In the video illustrating his prayer intention for the month of January, the Pope underlines that some 250 million children worldwide are not attending school. Migration and displacement due to war and poverty are the main causes of this phenomenon. The Pope invites us to pray “for migrants, refugees and those affected by war, that their right to an education, which is necessary to build a better world, might always be respected.”
