Pope Francis

This is the prayer intention that Pope Francis commends to all Catholics

In his prayer intention for the month of October, Pope Francis invites us to pray for a “a synodal lifestyle as a sign of co-responsibility,” which promotes “the participation, communion and mission shared by priests, religious and laity.” As the General Assembly of the Synod begins, Pope Francis reaffirms that “priests are not the bosses of the laity, but their pastors” and that “Jesus called us, one and others – not one above others, or one on one side and others on another side, but complementing each other.” Whether someone is a “bus driver,” a “farmer,” or a “fisher,” the pope says the mission is the same in the Video that accompanies his prayer: “to witness with our lives,” “everyone contributing what they know how to do best.”
