We are all invited to join with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Families, Schools of Human Development
Text of the August video
What kind of world do we want to leave for the future?
Let us leave a world with families.
Let us care for our families, because they are true schools for the future, spaces of freedom, and centers of humanity.
And let us reserve a special place in our families for individual and communal prayer.
Let us pray that families, through their life of prayer and love, become ever more clearly “schools of true human development”.
-Pope Francis, August 2019
We invite you to post a prayer or reflection in our prayer space
