Human Solidarity: June Prayer Intention of Pope Francis

June 3, 2016

We are all invited to join with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month’s intention: Human Solidarity.

‘That the aged, marginalized, and those who have no one may find–even within the huge cities of the world–opportunities for encounter and solidarity.’

Forthcoming Papal Prayer Intentions:

Pope Francis’ remaining prayer intentions for 2016 will include: greater respect for indigenous peoples; helping sports contribute to peace; encouraging journalists to respect truth and be more ethical; greater support for countries that take in refugees; and an end to the use of child soldiers.

Pope’s Intentions for 2016

Post your prayer in the Baggot Street Chapel

If we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbour also; they are as cause and effect.

This is your life, joys and sorrow mingled, one succeeding the other.

Letter to Francis Warde

If the love of God really reigns in your heart, it will quickly show itself in the exterior.

Retreat Instructions, p. 145

May God bless the poor Sisters of Mercy and make them very humble that they may not be unworthy of the distinguished blessings God has bestowed upon them.

Letter to Elizabeth Moore

[God] knows I would rather be cold and hungry than the poor in Kingston or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford.

Letter to Teresa White
