New technologies become a topic of prayer (and concern) for the Pope: here we explain it

In the video illustrating his prayer intention for the month of April, the Pope asks that we pray “that the use of the new technologies will not replace human relationships, will respect the dignity of the person, and will help us face the crises of our times.” Pope Francis advocates putting technology at the service of every person, especially the weakest, and for taking care of the earth. “Something’s wrong if we spend more time on our cell phones than with people.”
