How can we assist the terminally ill? In a new Pope Video prayer intention, Pope Francis reminds us that the terminally ill have the right to medical, psychological, spiritual and human assistance. He also explains to us that “healing is not always possible, but we can always care for the sick person.” And he remarks that “families should not be left alone.”
Let us pray with Pope Francis “that the terminally ill and their families always receive the necessary medical and human care and assistance.”

In remarks after the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Francis explained that the Year of Prayer is dedicated “to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer, prayer in personal life, in the life of the Church, prayer in the world.” He added that the Dicastery for Evangelization will be preparing materials to assist in celebrating the Year.
When approving these work guidelines, Pope Francis said, “the Synod is about synodality and not about this or that theme… The important thing is how the reflection is done, that is, in a synodal way”.
